Video - #NuevaYork to Latin America: Building Bridges for Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Companies

Bitcoins in Argentina, time zone as comparative advantage, and a region with a common language and as many consumers as in China: young entrepreneurs working in Latin America shared their experiences, successes, and hurdles. Panelists talked about the entrepreneurial ecosystem, cultural differences between starting a company in the United States or Latin America, and how to foster entrepreneurship and technological innovation in the region.

The event was organized by AS/COA Young Professionals of the Americas as part of Internet Week New York.
