F.A.Q

What is Startup Buenos Aires (SUBA)?

Easily put, Startup Buenos Aires is the startup community of Buenos Aires, Argentina. SUBA’s objective is to inspire, connect and support startups and entrepreneurship, while bridging the gap between continents and creating new opportunities for members. 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?

It’s FREE! Startup Buenos Aires is a free community, a place for members to learn, grow, exchange ideas and connect with one another. We are providing the tools and resources to create the best entrepreneurs in Buenos Aires, while throwing some really cool events too. We understand that startups and entrepreneurs are at different stages of development, so providing membership and access for free is something we strongly believe in and will continue to do.

Wait, so this is a FREE community offering classes, events and resources. How do you operate without charging members?
