La Casa Argentina En Silicon Valley
A meeting point for Argentine talent and the tech world. With a fellowship for 10 Argentines spending 3 months in San Francisco.
A desk, a mate and a way into the Valley.
We start with a coworking hub: a daily base for our fellows, and an open door for Argentines passing through SF.
- Shared desks to work from every day
- Office hours with founders and investors
- A kitchen and a patio for the Saturday asado
- A free desk for Argentines passing through
We back the person before the project.
We look for Argentines whose work already shows what they can do, wherever they live.
