Ask HN: 1 Month in Buenos Aires. Want to check out the startup scene.

3 points·dannyr··4 comments

My cofounder and I are spending October in Buenos Aires.

Any recommendations for good places to work (cafes, coworking spaces, etc)?

Where can I find information about startup events in the city?

Thanks.

FOR COFFEE SHOP: They're all good, but my favorite is Bar Seis. Good wifi & in a fun location (Palermo SOHO).

CAFE CULTURE: No Argentine waiter would ever ask you to leave before you're ready. You can sit at any restaurant/cafe for HOURS. (But it never feels right to me not to keep ordering at least tea.)

SOCIALIZING: A friend of mine hosts weekly parties at his place. Email me privately and I'll intro you.

COWORKING: This seems to be the hot place: areatresworkplace.com but to me it felt like there was too much activity. (They also host parties every month where expats can meet.)

ALSO: When startups want to setup shop our outsource to BsAs, I usually into them to Chad DePue (inakanetworks.com) because he's a developer who has experience dealing with the government.

Try to reach out to Andrew Warner (the guy behind mixergy.com). I believe he lives in Argentina. He frequents HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=AndrewWarner

I am from Buenos Aires, let me know what kind of places are you looking for.
