The founder

I'm Miguel Rovira.
Founder of Alicante Tech Vibes.

Hi, I'm Miguel — founder and organizer since 2026. But honestly? This community belongs to the 600+ people who show up. This is my letter to them — and to you.

The letter

Why this community exists.

ATV didn't start as a plan. It started as a hunch: Alicante was full of brilliant people — engineers, founders, designers, nomads — who all thought they were the only ones here.

They weren't. They just had no room to find each other. So I opened a WhatsApp group — and the community did the rest: a meetup, demo nights, tardeos on the marina, beach days, a women in tech edition. Today Alicante Tech Vibes is the city's largest independent tech community: 600+ members, 25+ nationalities, startups demoing in front of 80+ peers, and friendships that started over a beer and turned into companies. I lit the match; the community is the fire.

Who belongs here

You don't need to write code to belong here.

I believe tech should be for everyone — it's one of the best ways to make friends, start and explore ideas, and find purpose. Because technology has never been just about computers: every new and better way of doing something is technology.

01

A chef

rethinking how a kitchen runs. A teacher finding a clearer way to explain. That's technology too.

02

A founder

fixing a broken industry. An artist working in a medium that didn't exist five years ago. If you're making something better than it was, you're one of us.

03

You

Bring an idea. Bring a project. Bring curiosity. What matters here is ideas, projects and friendship — and the friendships are what make the other two happen.

Non-negotiables

Three promises that won't change.

01

Independent, always.

No corporate owner, no ticket sales. Sponsored by venues and local partners who believe in the city.

02

Free entry, always.

The best ideas shouldn't have a cover charge.

03

Run by the community.

For the community. I founded it; the members make it what it is.
