Estoy con ganas de emprender algo relacionado a IT/software/data/IA, pero me falta algo bastante básico: encontrar gente con la que tenga sentido hacerlo.

Para los que ya armaron una startup:

¿Cómo conocieron a sus socios/cofounders?

• ¿Los conocían de antes?
• ¿Los conocieron trabajando?
• ¿Universidad?
• ¿Eventos/hackathons?
• ¿Comunidades online?
• ¿Se conocieron de casualidad?

Y otra pregunta más específica para los que están en CABA:

¿Dónde están los eventos/comunidades donde realmente haya gente técnica y emprendedores que estén construyendo cosas?

Busco algo bastante específico: IT, software, data, IA, SaaS, etc. No tanto el típico evento de “networking” donde 200 personas se pasan Instagram/LinkedIn y después nunca pasa nada.

Me interesan especialmente lugares/eventos donde haya gente buscando cofounders, armando MVPs, validando ideas, buscando socios técnicos/comerciales, etc.

Si conocen algún evento, comunidad, meetup, hackathon o incluso algún lugar donde suelan juntarse, pásenlo. Gracias.

Cada vez me cuesta más entender la tesis de inversión.

Ya casi nadie habla de usarlo como moneda. Hoy la narrativa es simplemente "comprá y holdeá porque va a subir".

Pero si Bitcoin no produce ingresos, no paga dividendos, no genera flujo de caja y su precio depende de que haya cada vez más compradores... ¿qué sostiene su valor a largo plazo?

No digo que sea un Ponzi (técnicamente no lo es), pero tampoco veo una forma objetiva de valuarlo como sí ocurre con una empresa o un bono.

Qué me estoy perdiendo? Cuál es el argumento más fuerte para creer que dentro de 30 años seguirá valiendo millones?

Senior data engineer here. I have stable income from contract work, and I'm building a data/AI-infrastructure consulting practice on the side under my own LLC. Strategy is content + being useful in communities rather than cold outreach (I'm technical, not a natural salesperson). No plan to quit until the side thing proves itself.

For anyone who's walked this path:

• Realistic timeline to your first paying client?
• What channel actually produced it: content/SEO, referrals from past work, a platform, a partner ecosystem, cold outreach?
• What was the hardest part you didn't see coming?
• For the content-as-distribution folks: how many months of publishing before a real lead showed up?

Genuinely want honest data: the failures and "I went back to a job" stories are just as useful as the wins.

Trabajo con gente de otros paises y me hablan de diferentes especias/condimientos y aca con suerte se usa sal y pimienta

Buenas..Cuestion... Laburo para afuera y en la cueva me cobran 1% por bajar USD cash... y el USDT esta $1500 vs $1400 el usd blue... mas de 6% de diferencia.

Hay manera de conseguir el precio de USDT todo barrani?

I'm a senior data engineer with several years of experience, currently employed full-time, and I also have a US LLC. I’ve been thinking about building something on the side. No pressure to monetize quickly, since I don’t need immediate income.

The idea I keep coming back to is offering AI services to SaaS/fintech companies that already tried to ship AI features and got stuck somewhere between “cool demo” and “usable product.”

A pattern I keep seeing:

* hallucinations make the system unreliable

* nobody knows how to properly evaluate outputs

* there’s no monitoring/feedback loop in production

* prompts get tweaked endlessly without real measurement

* the AI feature works 80% of the time, which means nobody fully trusts it

My potential edge wouldn’t really be “AI agents.” It would be the data/reliability side:

* evaluation pipelines

* observability

* grounding/retrieval

* production monitoring

* human feedback loops

* data quality

* making LLM systems actually dependable enough for business use

What makes me hesitate is the amount of hype online.

YouTube is full of “start an AI agency, charge $5k/month with AI agents” content, and honestly a lot of it feels saturated and race-to-the-bottom. It’s hard to tell where the real market is versus where people are mostly selling courses to other developers.

So I’m curious from people actually selling B2B services/software:

* Is there real demand from companies that genuinely pay for this?

* How did you avoid competing purely on price?

* If you were starting from zero today, with time, experience, and no urgent need for cash, where would you focus first?

Would genuinely appreciate honest takes or real experiences from people in the space.

I'm a senior data engineer (several years in), employed full-time, and I have a US LLC. I'm looking to build something on the side — no rush, since I don't need the income immediately.

The idea I keep coming back to: selling AI services to companies (SaaS and fintech especially) that already tried to ship an AI feature and got stuck — it hallucinates, they can't trust it in production, they have no way to measure if it's actually working. My edge would be the data side: making the system genuinely reliable, not just a nice demo.

What makes me hesitant: YouTube is flooded with people selling "start your AI agent agency, charge $5K/mo" and it smells like hype / a race to the bottom on price.

For those already selling B2B services or software:

Is there real demand (people who actually pay) for this, or is it more hype than substance?

How did you avoid competing purely on price?

If you were starting from zero today — with time but no urgent need for money — where would you start?

Appreciate any honest takes or real experience. Happy to share more about my situation in the comments.
