SUBA was founded to serve as the homebase, resource center, educator and adviser for startup growth and innovation. SUBA’s mission is to connect members locally and globally, while providing resources to grow a strong and sustainable startup ecosystem in Buenos Aires. SUBA works with the community to curate events, educational series and professional connections to strengthen the entrepreneurial community, while bridging the gap between continents. Here at Startup Buenos Aires, we execute our mission through a multifaceted platform, focusing on 3 pillars of development: Community, Education and Resources.

How much does it cost to become a member?
