Mexico Tech Week

What Mexico Tech Week does

Mexico Tech Week (MXTW) is a private, for-profit community event organization founded in 2023 and headquartered in the Santa Fe business district of Mexico City. It produces a single annual, week-long tech ecosystem gathering in CDMX (2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 editions) that operates on a decentralized model: entrepreneurs, investors, startups, and other ecosystem participants independently organize and host panels, networking sessions, workshops, pitch competitions, sports activities, and social events under the MXTW umbrella, with the company providing platform visibility, social media promotion, and a coordinating website. The 2024 edition drew 9,000+ attendees across 200+ independently organized events, and the 2026 edition is publicly scheduled for October 26 – November 1, 2026.

The core product is the MXTW website platform, built on Webflow and integrated with Luma for event registration and listings, which lets event hosts submit and manage their own events and lets attendees register individually. A secondary product, the MXTW Attendee Perks Program, layers discounts and free access with partners such as Pluria (coworking), Notion (productivity), AWS (cloud credits), and Binance (crypto access). Underlying technology is a content and event-coordination stack rather than a proprietary software platform; no APIs, SDKs, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model is sponsorship-driven with a tiered structure (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Supporting, Partner, Media Partner), monetizing brand visibility through logo placement, website presence, opening-ceremony participation, social media promotion, and inclusion in central sponsorship materials distributed across all events citywide. Most events are free to attend, with a small number of paid ticket exceptions at modest MXN price points, and there is no other disclosed revenue stream. The customer base is twofold: corporate sponsors (the paying customers, drawn from global tech, cloud, fintech, HR, real estate tech, and education brands such as Binance, Canva, Capital One, Google Cloud, Notion, WeWork, AWS, Salesforce, Deel, Zillow, and Tecnológico de Monterrey) and tech ecosystem participants (the non-paying attendees — entrepreneurs, founders, investors, and tech professionals who consume the programming). Co-founders Archie Cochrane, Bernardo Cordero, and Victor Noguera lead the organization.

Direct peers

• Slush: Slush is a flagship founder-and-investor tech conference held annually in Helsinki, built by a passionate community of organizers. It is comparable to MXTW in mission (catalyzing regional tech ecosystems) and target audience, though at greater scale and Northern European focus.
• Startup Grind Global Conference: Startup Grind runs an annual global conference and 600+ city chapters serving founders and investors. It is a DIRECT PEER for ecosystem-building conferences and is already a partner of MXTW (hosting events during MXTW).
• SXSW (South by Southwest): SXSW is the premier multi-track festival converging tech, music, and culture - explicitly referenced by MXTW attendees as the benchmark ('SXSW meets Latin America'). It is a DIRECT PEER in mission, format (week-long, multi-track event), and audience (founders, investors, creatives).
• TechCrunch Disrupt: TechCrunch Disrupt is the canonical startup ecosystem conference featuring pitches, panels, and investor networking. It competes with MXTW for the same founder/VC audience in the global tech-event calendar.
• NY Tech Week: NY Tech Week is another decentralized city-based tech gathering modeled after SF Tech Week, targeting founders, VCs, and tech operators in New York City. It shares MXTW's exact operational model and attendance base type.
• LA Tech Week: LA Tech Week is the Los Angeles edition of the Sequoia-affiliated decentralized tech-week model. It is directly comparable to MXTW in event structure, sponsor-funded monetization, and community-led format.
• San Francisco Tech Week: SF Tech Week uses the same Sequoia-affiliated decentralized event model with community organizers hosting events under one umbrella brand, targeting startups, VCs, and tech talent. It is structurally and operationally comparable to MXTW, though serving the Bay Area ecosystem.
• Miami Tech Week: Miami Tech Week is a decentralized, week-long tech ecosystem gathering organized around community-hosted events and corporate sponsors. It is the closest direct comparable to MXTW in terms of model (decentralized events, sponsorship tiers, free attendance) and target audience (founders, investors, tech professionals in Latin America's gateway city).

Broad incumbents

• Dreamforce: Dreamforce is Salesforce's annual mega-conference hosting 100,000+ attendees in San Francisco. Salesforce is an MXTW silver sponsor; the event is a BROAD_INCUMBENT that competes for the same enterprise-tech sponsorship dollars that fund MXTW.
• Web Summit: Web Summit operates the world's largest tech conferences (Lisbon, Rio, Qatar) targeting founders, investors and enterprise tech buyers. It is a BROAD_INCUMBENT: same audience and category but centralized programming at much larger scale and budget.
