Whether you are a startup or an entrepreneur thinking about launching a new business, it's always good to know which people you should get to know. It seems that there are a lot of opportunities lately in Buenos Aires for startups and entrepreneurs, mostly due to the boom we're currently experiencing in the city (at least for now). I decided to put together this list as a small reference for anyone who is interested in knowing which Venture Capitalists/Investors you should try to get on your side if you're looking for financing in the city.
