02 · IDEA LAB

What we're building

A meetup for the people building the future from the Costa Blanca.

Founded by Miguel Rovira. Independent. Free. Run by the community, for the community. Three audiences, one room.

01

For founders

Five-minute demos in front of 80+ peers. Honest feedback. Intros that turn into customers, hires and co-founders.

🚀

02

For builders

Meet the engineers and designers shipping real products from Alicante. No recruiters, no fluff. Just builders.

⚡

03

For digital nomads

Land softly. Find your people. Trade Lisbon's queues for paella, sea, and a 12-month visa.

“I moved to Alicante from Berlin in 2024 thinking I'd be alone. Three Tech Vibes editions later I have two co-founders, my first ten customers, and a friend group I'd cross continents for. This is the meetup I wish every city had.”

Why Alicante

✱ Cost of living — roughly 50% lower than Madrid for comparable quality
✱ Digital Nomad Visa — 12-month renewable, family included
✱ Beckham Law — 24% flat tax for first 6 years on Spanish income
✱ 30-min commute — to beach, mountains, airport, or coworking

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Alicante Tech Vibes is the city's largest independent meetup for founders and builders. We host regular events (roughly monthly so far) with startup demos, open-mic pitches and structured networking. The WhatsApp community is active daily — introductions, job posts, co-founder searches.

Alicante Tech Vibes was founded by Miguel Rovira in 2026. Independent, volunteer-run and free to attend. Meet the founder.

Roughly 40% of our community are working software engineers — from indie hackers shipping side projects to senior ICs at remote-first companies. Join the WhatsApp, introduce yourself, then come to the next meetup.

Yes, always. Independent and run by volunteers. We're sponsored by venues and a few local partners — never by ticket sales.

Both. Demos and the open mic happen in English; the hallway track and networking happen in whatever language you and the person you're talking to share.
