Punta Tech Meetup

Punta Tech Meetup – From .AI to .COM — How Each January in Punta Shapes Our Year and Our Vision

Every January, while the world is still shaking off the holiday dust, there’s one place where the future arrives early: Punta Tech Meetup.

It’s not just an event—it’s our annual mirror, our first pulse check, our sharpest lens into what’s coming.

For the past three years, Punta Tech has marked the start of our year—not just with insights, but with clarity. It’s where we ask the big questions, confront the hard truths, and set the tone for everything we’ll build, test, and deliver in the months ahead.

Let’s rewind and tell the story of how this little patch of sand and tech has shaped Flipzen’s journey—one January at a time.

🎤 2023: The Prompt Battle – Playing with the Future

In January 2023, we walked into Punta Tech Meetup carrying the fresh energy of an AI revolution.

ChatGPT had just exploded onto the scene two months earlier. The air buzzed with curiosity, excitement, and a little bit of fear. Everyone was asking: “What does this mean for me? For my team? For my company?”

So we brought the first-ever Prompt Battle to LatAm.

It wasn’t just a game—it was a glimpse into a future where creativity, intuition, and technology merge in ways we’d never seen before.

  • A 14-year-old won the battle.
  • CEOs, engineers, and designers played side-by-side.
  • The crowd left not just entertained, but transformed.

The lesson was clear: AI isn’t a tool—it’s a mindset.

And yet, beneath the excitement, we felt the weight of a deeper question: “Are we building tools that solve real problems—or just shinier toys?”

That question stayed with us all year.

🤖 2024: The Agent Battle – Humans + Machines, Working as One

One year later, in January 2024, we came back to Punta with sharper clarity and deeper conviction.

The theme this time? AI Agents.

We didn’t just showcase tools—we showed collaboration. Humans battling AI agents over a term sheet negotiation.

  • Investors argued with AI-powered legal advisors.
  • Founders countered AI-backed investment terms.
  • The audience laughed, gasped, and learned something profound:

The future isn’t humans vs. AI—it’s humans with AI.

But here’s the catch: it only works if there’s trust.

Trust in the data.

Trust in the systems.

Trust in the clarity of purpose behind every AI decision.

And while the world kept rushing to build more agents, smarter agents, and faster agents—we started asking ourselves:

“How do we make this trusted, secure, and scalable for enterprises navigating the hardest compliance challenges in the world?”

We didn’t just leave Punta with answers—we left with a mission.

🛡️ 2025: Back to Basics — Trust, Clarity, and Being Human First

Which brings us to January 2025.

After two intense years of building, iterating, and learning, we’re showing up with a different energy.

This year, we’re dropping the .ai and embracing the .com.

Why?

Because the conversations we had over fernet, under the Punta stars, and around late-night tables taught us something simple:

The next frontier isn’t just about smarter AI—it’s about deeper trust.

  • Trust in enterprise-grade security.
  • Trust in systems that are compliant by design.
  • Trust in transparent workflows that don’t break under pressure.

But most importantly: trust in each other.

Because while AI agents can automate processes, optimize workflows, and reduce risk—they can’t build relationships, share a laugh, or create meaningful connections.

That’s where we come in.

This year at Punta Tech Meetup, we’re keeping it simple:

  • No over-the-top AI demos.
  • No flashy tech buzzwords.
  • Just us, you, and a space to be human.

Come to our tent.

  • Grab a fernet with cola. 🥃
  • Listen to some great music. 🎶
  • Laugh with friends, family, clients, and colleagues. 😂
  • Dance a little. 💃🕺

Because before we add AI to every workflow, every system, every interaction—we need to reconnect with what it means to be human.

🌟 Let’s Flip, Flow, and Stay Zen

At Flipzen, we’re more convinced than ever:

The best technology starts with humanity.

We’re building systems that are secure, compliant, and transparent—but we’re also building relationships, trust, and clarity.

So here’s our invitation:

Come as you are. Stay for a drink. Share a story. And let’s start 2025 not just as innovators—but as humans, ready to build something extraordinary together.

See you in Punta. Shorts on, hearts open, and brains in Zen Mode. 🧘‍♀️🏝️🚀
