Funding the Commons: Buenos Aires 2025
Funding the Commons is landing in Buenos Aires for its 14th global convening—bringing together builders, funders, researchers, and public sector allies from across Latin America and around the world.
Inspired by Argentina’s open-source ingenuity, grassroots crypto adoption, and a thriving culture of experimentation, this edition focuses on RealFi: financial infrastructure designed for real-world coordination, access, and public goods funding.
