Terapia grupal para Emprendedores
Bienvenidos a “Terapia Grupal para Emprendedores” 🫠🚀
Un espacio seguro para personas que:
* responden mensajes a las 2 AM,
* tienen 47 ideas de negocios abiertas,
* dicen “solo voy a trabajar una hora” y desaparecen emocionalmente 9 horas,
* y consideran normal hablar de métricas, ansiedad y café en la misma conversación.
Acá no prometemos “hacerte millonario en 30 días”, ni vamos a gritar “¡mentalidad de tiburón!”.
Solo queremos reunir emprendedores reales para compartir historias, fracasos, ideas, crisis existenciales, pequeñas victorias y probablemente algún que otro trauma generado por clientes, algoritmos o impuestos argentinos.
La dinámica es simple:
☕ café
🧠 buenas conversaciones
😂 humor terapéutico
🤝 gente que entiende el caos de emprender
Si alguna vez sentiste que tus amigos no entienden por qué trabajas tanto, hablas solo o te emocionas por una planilla Excel… este evento probablemente sea para vos.
Locales, freelancers, founders, creativos, nómades digitales y sobrevivientes del monotributo: bienvenidos.
Hacemos charlas de café todos los Martes a las 18:30 hs en [Gabán Café Bike Bar](https://share.google/gstLsckARJ6qPDk6G) (Arroyo 889 - Retiro, CABA). Con la participación de al menos una sola persona, el evento se confirma.
Puedes venir también a ofrecer tu servicio (sea cual fuere) que creas que le pueda servir a otro emprendedor.
*El evento es **gratuito**. Los consumos en Gabán Café Bike Bar corren por cuenta de cada participante.*

✨ ¡Meetup Junio!
¡Hola a todos! ¡Nos reencontramos para una edición especial de React Buenos Aires!
En esta oportunidad, vamos a contar con la visita del equipo de **Howdy**, con quienes vamos a co-hostear una nueva edición. Se viene una gran juntada para hablar de desarrollo de software y pasar un buen momento en comunidad.
**LUGAR**
Nos encontramos en 🏟️ **La Maquinita- Innovation Lab** (Niceto Vega 4866, CABA). **Abrimos las puertas 18:30hs y arrancamos puntual a las 19hs.**
**SPONSOR**
Nuestro sponsor será **Howdy**. Más info en [https://www.howdylatam.com](https://www.howdylatam.com/)
**CHARLAS**
**✨ Planificar antes de codear (+ aún en tiempos de AI)**
Dario Macchi – Desarrollador y Dev Advocate en Howdy
En proyectos React, muchas tareas arrancan con demasiadas decisiones implícitas: estructura, estado, límites entre componentes, efectos, datos, edge cases. En esta charla voy a compartir un enfoque de planificación técnica anticipada para hacer esas decisiones visibles antes de implementar, y usar la IA con mejor contexto desde el inicio. La propuesta reduce fricción, baja la carga cognitiva y mejora la calidad de las conversaciones técnicas en el equipo.
**✨ ¿Y si tu backend fuera tan reactivo como tu frontend?**
Raúl Ahumada – Referente Técnico en OneInfo Consulting
Convex es una plataforma backend que cambia el modelo mental con el que construimos apps en React: las queries son suscripciones en vivo, las mutations son transacciones ACID, y todo está escrito en TypeScript puro. En esta charla vemos qué problema resuelve, cómo se integra con React, y por qué su arquitectura reactiva lo convierte en una base ideal para construir apps con IA hoy — desde chatbots con memoria persistente hasta agentes con workflows de larga duración.
¡Nos vemos!

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
