Argentina para Armar, Palermo Valley and we are done for the year
Date: Nov 13, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: General
Yesterday afternoon, together with several Endeavor Entrepreneurs, I was in the recording for Maria Laura Santillan’s “Argentina para Armar“. The subject was “The Entrepreneurs and the current crisis” and will air on Sunday night for those who want to see it. Along with me were Jessica Trosman, Rodolfo Montes de Oca, Mike Santos and Guillermo Gotelli. I am not thrilled with how I fared but the others were very good so it’s worth a look.

The financial crisis, from Silicon Valley and Barracas Beach
Date: Nov 11, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: Entrepreneurship
Even when it was not the central purpose of the Endeavor trip to Silicon Valley, given the difficult times we live in the issue of the financial crisis arised in almost all talks.
Here is a summary of the most interesting things that were said and my personal view on that subject, from the charming beach of Barracas, on the banks of the Riachuelo (a fetid river two blocks from my Buenos Aires office).

Wordcamp BA is past, Buenos Aires 2.0 comes next
Date: Nov 10, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: General, Science and Tech
Last Saturday I presented in WordcampBA. The event was great. Mariano Amartino was perfect in the organization, Matt Mullenweg was all I expected and more (I am dying to upgrade my WP to 2.7!) and the three lectures that I saw were very good.
Speaking to that audience, full of super experienced bloggers, was very challenging (I share my ppt below). As I said at the start my talk, “if that’s not going out of the comfort zone I do not know what would be. ”

Talk with social entrepreneurs at UdeSA
Date: Nov 10, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: Non Profit
At the end of last week I gave a talk to social entrepreneurs who are part of the Youth Venture program from Ashoka, organized by the Center for Social Innovation at the University of San Andres. In addition to the fact that it was nice for me to return to UdeSA after so many years, it filled me with excitement to see so many of these youngsters so devoted to launch their social projects.

Election Day - Uncensored
Date: Nov 04, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: Entrepreneurship
In this historic Election day, my friend Enrique sent me a video that I found really interesting and wanted to share with you. And soon after I published the post, Martina sent me another version, this time “uncensored” so ypou will also find it below. And for more reader feedback, you may want to see the Spanish post on the winners of my latest contests, with the “acceptance speech sent by Fede Munichor!).
The fact that voting is not mandatory in the US gives place to interesting dinamics. I always wondered what would happen if in our countries voting was optional. I tend to think that, if even Americans have to be called upon to vote, that here the only people that would vote are those who get some dirty money from politicians to do so.
Anyway, in case you are not interested in all these stuff, you will at least enjoy seeing, among others, Scarlett Johanson and Cameron Diaz or Di Caprio and Tom Cruise (according to your preferences).
My favorites…? Borat and Jason Lee. And Jennifer Aniston… but she appears so little!

Great to Good?
Date: Oct 31, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: Entertainment, Entrepreneurship, General
A few weeks ago I was at a meeting of the Advisory Council of Prosperar, the National Investment Agency of Argentina. There, Alec Oxenford mentioned something that truly concerns me: He said that in a speech a few days ago he asked the audience who was their most admired businessperson. And everyone in the audience looked at him as if he was crazy. And that, after thinking for while, the only answer they could think of was Marcelo Tinelli.
You may like better Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Larry Ellison or Jack Welch. Sergey Brin and Larry Page or Jerry Yang and David Filo. But what there is no doubt about is that in cultures such as the U.S., among the most admired people there are many entrepreneurs. In Argentina being a businessman is a stigma.
