Starting Up Argentina

Latin American countries, including Argentina, are often perceived to be developing and plagued by violence. While this may be true, it doesn't show case the large of amount of talented people that have world changing ideas. Tech start-ups are the new trend; create a product, sell a product, and move on to the next product. In the United States, Silicon Valley is the heart of this movement, but people often neglect Palermo Valley, Argentina. Palermo Valley may become what Silicon Valley is today, the destination to build a piece of technology, and obtain venture capital funding. We may soon be outsourcing our software developer positions to Argentina; companies such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft have already built bases in Buenos Aires in the hopes of harnessing this vast number of talented developers. We often need a change in perspective and look at how Latin American countries, such as Argentina's, vast pool of talented people can contribute to the growing tech industry.
