Buidlers Connect Mixer -Buenos Aires Edition
Buidlers Connect Mixer - Buenos Aires
African builders are creating products the world actually uses. This mixer is a meeting point for founders, operators, and ecosystem partners to share hard-won lessons, forge collaborations, and unlock real opportunities, capital, customers, and community.
What this is
A story-first gathering: African founders and teams showing how they build, scale, and adapt across diverse markets.
A partnerships marketplace: Ecosystems (L1s/L2s, infra, dev tools) presenting clear, practical pathways for African builders—grants, VC fund allocations, accelerator slots, technical support, and distribution.
A high-signal room: Curated intros between founders, investors, ecosystem leads, and operators focused on traction, resilience, and outcomes.
What to expect
Demo Showcase: Impactful products from African Web3 teams: payments, identity, access, liquidity, and more.
Curated Introductions: Matching builders with chains, funds, and partners that align with their roadmaps.
Global Networking: Investors, ecosystem teams, and builders from around the world.
Cultural Mixer: Afro-inspired music, food, and community vibes celebrating creativity and grit.
