Hi Polkadot community,
I’d like to request a tip in recognition of Gabo’s valuable contribution during Innovation Tech Week Buenos Aires 2025, held from June 2nd to 6th.
Gabo’s contribution spanned 5 hours of work, covering:
- Developing and refining his talk
- Travel to the venue
- Speaking at the event
- Post-session networking
The suggested tip is USD 250, in appreciation of his time, commitment, and support.

Gabo is doing a great work in the ecosystem. The event was part of Innovation Tech Week in Buenos Aires and Gabo was interviewed by the organizers.

Hello, I have a few questions:
Considering the history of contributions Gabo has made with the team that executed the event's participation, why wasn't it considered in the initial funding proposal (ref) requested from the event bounty?
Could you mention the aspects that most caught the attention of the participants in the workshop Gabo offered?
Could you please share the presentation used in this workshop?
Regards
@SIM-DOT I didn’t handle the proposal nor the communication with the bounty, so I don’t have the answer you’re looking for. I only know that he wasn’t included, he wasn’t paid, and that preparing a talk like that takes hours, that’s why this tip aims to make up for that.
Gabo’s talks change depending on the audience (he has taken inspiration from talks given in the region NICO by Velocity Labs and also by Shawn Tabrizi). Also, being a developer, Gabo is able to explain certain topics and address technical questions very well. For non-Web3 audiences, he usually focuses on presenting web3 and our ecosystem, showcasing use cases, and making an impact with things like statistics, transaction volume, time blocks,etc... as well as showing what our DAO is capable of doing.
In this particular case, the audience wasn’t familiar with Polkadot, most barely knew about Bitcoin, so it was all new to them. Those who were interested joined the Telegram groups.
If you have more questions, I’m sure Gabo himself can tell you more about his talks. I’m confident you could learn a lot from him, and you might even be able to replicate his presentations in your region. Ask him for his talk materials, he’ll definitely be happy to share them.
Here’s his Twitter and Telegram:
