What is Startup Day?

PlebLab Startup Day, held biannually, coincides with Mexico's Bitcoin Block Party by Yopaki. This event promises to be historic last year it helped launch the Bitcoin startup ecosystem in Mexico City, and this year we're partnering with the grand opening of the White Paper House and collaborating with Yopaki to do the same for Mérida. Together, we're building the foundation for a thriving Bitcoin future in the Yucatán.
