Public Goods Funding Keynote Presentation - Buenos Aires 2025

Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

Public Goods Funding Keynote Presentation: Juan Benet frames Argentina as a rare “window in time” where real economic constraints meet a strong builder base, making it a proving ground for financial infrastructure that can hold up under inflation and broken payment rails. Juan connects crypto rails to the practical work of helping startups grow locally, and describes how initiatives like Crecimiento/Aleph are working to strengthen the builder pipeline through hubs, programs, and longer-term stability frameworks. Speaker: Juan Benet (Protocol Labs) This session was part of the 14th edition of Funding the Commons, held November 19, 2025, at Fundación Beethoven in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
