Argentina: The 10 Most Promising Startups for 2025

From cloud expertise to advanced management platforms, and even technologies that improve sperm functionality, these are Argentina's 10 most notable startups poised to stand out in 2025, according to the Cuantico VC platform.

Despite Argentina’s decline in its share of venture capital (VC) investments in Latin America—dropping from 8% in 2021 to 1.6% in 2023 according to the Latin American Venture Capital Association (LAVCA)—the country remains an attractive hub for innovation.

Cuantico highlights Argentina's role as a deep tech leader, generating 30% of the region’s deep tech startups while attracting only 5% of VC investments in this sector. Yet, the growth in startups is remarkable: between 2020 and 2024, the number of startups securing over $1M in funding increased by 2.6 times.

Solutions for Everyone and Everything

Ualá, Argentina's leading fintech, offers a digital banking app that helps users manage their finances. In its Series E round, it raised over $300M, making it one of the largest funding rounds in 2024.

Pomelo stands out as an innovative platform for digital processing, providing customized virtual accounts and cards via APIs and dashboards. It secured $40M in Series B funding.

Argentina is also home to Tapi, a fintech platform dedicated to offering simple, regional payment solutions for businesses. Tapi raised $22M in Series A.

Aligned is a startup accelerating the adoption of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) on Ethereum by significantly reducing costs and speeding up verification. Their technology enables the validation of cryptographic proofs at just 10% of the current cost, addressing one of Ethereum's biggest scalability challenges. The company successfully raised $20 million in its Series A funding round.

Kilimo addresses water management in agriculture with a Big Data solution, securing $7.5M in Series A.

Roxom, on the other hand, is the world’s first Bitcoin, stock, commodities, and cryptocurrency exchange startup, raising $4.3M in pre-seed funding.

Cloud expertise is also on the rise with CloudGaia, specialists in Salesforce platforms, which raised $3M in seed funding.

In a more unique niche, Fecundis Lab focuses on enhancing sperm functionality to produce higher-quality embryos, raising $2.7M in seed funding.

Bioeutectics is revolutionizing the solvent industry with natural and biodegradable solutions, securing $2.1M in seed funding.

Finally, Avedian has made strides in healthcare with a platform for managing medical records to improve decision-making in health institutions, raising $1M in seed funding.

Challenges Ahead for Argentina’s Startups

While Argentina's startups continue to gain recognition for their contributions to technology and AI, challenges persist as the country moves into 2025.

The Argentine ecosystem, particularly in frontier technologies, faces significant hurdles. Deep tech startups are especially affected by the "valley of death", a development curve that is both longer and more expensive than that of traditional technologies.

A Crossroads of Challenges and Opportunities

Argentina stands at a crossroads where challenges coexist with opportunities. By strengthening support for deep tech and other strategic sectors, the country could regain its position as a key destination for venture capital in Latin America.

According to Cuantico, Argentina's ability to overcome these obstacles and leverage its innovation potential will be crucial for its long-term success in the region.

2025 may bring the momentum needed for these startups to scale globally, paving the way for a stronger and more competitive Argentine innovation ecosystem.
