Fractional CFO services in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is Latin America's most prolific unicorn factory - MercadoLibre, Globant, Auth0, Despegar, Ualá, Tiendanube and Vercel all trace their founding to the city, making it the source of more unicorn founders per capita than any other LatAm market.
The ecosystem is centred on Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho, with a secondary concentration of scaleups in Puerto Madero and Microcentro, and is anchored by MercadoLibre alumni who have seeded the city's two dominant venture funds - Kaszek (founded by MercadoLibre's co-founders) and NXTP Ventures.
We work with Buenos Aires-based startups from seed to Series B+, supporting them on cap table management, financial modelling, fundraise prep, FP&A, board packs and M&A readiness.

Buenos Aires startup ecosystem
The region's deepest unicorn alumni network
MercadoLibre's IPO in 2007 created the first generation of liquid founders and operators in LatAm. That alumni network - Kaszek's Hernan Kazah and Nicolas Szekasy are both MercadoLibre CFOs turned VCs - has recycled capital and executive talent back into the Buenos Aires ecosystem for two decades, producing Auth0 (sold to Okta for $6.5bn), Ualá ($910m raised), Tiendanube and Vercel.
Fintech, SaaS and e-commerce infrastructure dominate
The ARS inflation environment has paradoxically accelerated fintech product sophistication - Argentine founders have built payment rails, digital wallets and treasury tooling at a pace most stable-currency markets haven't needed to match. Ualá (neobank, 7m+ users), Pomelo (card issuing infrastructure) and Bitex (crypto rails) represent the fintech axis. Globant ($1.5bn revenue) and OLX anchor the SaaS and marketplace layers.
Palermo Hollywood and Puerto Madero as twin clusters
Palermo Hollywood - originally colonised by TV and radio producers in the 1990s - now hosts the densest concentration of co-working spaces, venture offices and early-stage startups in Argentina. Puerto Madero and Microcentro house the financial services and corporate tech buyers that anchor later-stage growth. INVAP and the broader Bariloche tech cluster provide deeptech overflow.
Engineering talent from UBA and ITBA
Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) produces the largest volume of engineering and computer science graduates in the country. ITBA (Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires) and UTDT (Universidad Torcuato Di Tella) supply the startup-facing talent most likely to join seed and Series A companies. The city's competitive salary differential versus US or European employers makes BA-based engineering teams a well-understood cost arbitrage for founders raising internationally.
Active venture investors in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has the deepest local VC infrastructure in Latin America, anchored by MercadoLibre alumni funds and a dense angel network of prior-exit founders.
Kaszek
Kaszek was founded by Hernan Kazah and Nicolas Szekasy, both MercadoLibre co-founders, and is the most active multi-stage fund in LatAm. Portfolio includes Nubank, Kavak, Gympass, NotCo, Creditas and Contabilizei - tickets range from seed through growth. Buenos Aires is one of its two home bases alongside São Paulo.

Globant Ventures is the corporate venture arm of Globant - the Buenos Aires-founded IT services company now listed on NYSE at $1.5bn+ revenue.
