After helping to found Cornershop—the company that took an idea born in Chile to markets around the world—Daniel Undurraga decided to put his experience in technology and entrepreneurship to work on a new challenge. The turning point came when he visited a rural school that had no cell phone service or fiber-optic internet. There, he discovered that a technological solution could do much more than just facilitate a purchase: it could connect students to new opportunities.
Since then, his work has focused on education, technology, and talent development. Through the Phaway Foundation, he promotes initiatives to encourage reading, technological learning, and connectivity for rural schools, with the goal of ensuring that access to knowledge does not depend on where one is born.
It's not a story that begins after *Cornershop*, but rather a new phase of the same way of seeing things.
Perhaps that is where the continuity of its history lies: in the past, it sought to ensure that a good idea could reach anywhere; today, it seeks to ensure that the place where a child is born does not determine how far that child’s own ideas can go.
