About us
This is a people-first group for indie hackers, founders, and startup builders who are actively creating technology products in Riviera Maya and Yucatán.
Riviera Maya has all the ingredients of a strong tech hub — international talent, solid infrastructure, and a growing number of people building interesting things. What’s often missing is a dedicated space to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and grow together. This group exists to change that.
We want to bring together people who design, build, and ship software: from indie tools and micro-SaaS to larger startup products. The focus is on real projects, real challenges, and thoughtful conversations — not hype or surface-level networking.
What we do
We organize monthly or bimonthly in-person meetups across Riviera Maya (and eventually Yucatán), including:
- Informal meetups and open conversations
- Short talks by local or visiting builders
- Practical workshops around product, technology, and growth
Events are conversation-driven, welcoming, and focused on learning from each other.
Who this group is for:
- Indie hackers and micro-SaaS founders
- SaaS and startup founders
- Technical co-founders and engineers building products
- Product-driven agency owners
The common denominator isn’t company size or stage, it’s practice. Members are actively building, iterating, and learning from real users.
Why join?
- Meet other builders who are actually working on products
- Share what you’re building and get thoughtful feedback
- Discover collaborations, co-founders, or new ideas
- Help shape a visible and vibrant tech community in Riviera Maya
If you enjoy building technology to solve real problems and value meaningful peer connections, you’ll feel at home here.
P.S. This is a community-driven group focused on connection, collaboration, and learning, not sales or promotion.

## De qué se trata
Este es un grupo centrado en las personas para indie hackers, fundadores y builders de startups que están creando activamente productos tecnológicos en la Riviera Maya y Yucatán.
La Riviera Maya tiene todos los ingredientes para convertirse en un hub tecnológico sólido: talento internacional, buena infraestructura y cada vez más personas construyendo cosas interesantes. Lo que suele faltar es un espacio dedicado para conectar con pares, intercambiar ideas y crecer juntos. Este grupo existe para cambiar eso.
Queremos reunir a personas que diseñan, construyen y lanzan software: desde herramientas indie y micro-SaaS hasta productos de startups más grandes. El enfoque está en proyectos reales, retos reales y conversaciones con sustancia, no en hype ni networking superficial.
***
## Qué hacemos
Organizamos meetups presenciales mensuales o bimestrales en distintos puntos de la Riviera Maya (y eventualmente en Yucatán), que incluyen:
- Encuentros informales y conversaciones abiertas
- Charlas cortas de builders locales o visitantes
- Workshops prácticos sobre producto, tecnología y crecimiento
Los eventos están pensados para fomentar la conversación, son abiertos y acogedores, y se enfocan en aprender unos de otros.
***
## Para quién es este grupo
- Indie hackers y fundadores de micro-SaaS
- Fundadores de SaaS y startups
- Co-fundadores técnicos e ingenieros que están construyendo productos
- Dueños de agencias con enfoque en producto
El denominador común no es el tamaño de la empresa ni la etapa, sino la práctica. Los miembros están construyendo, iterando y aprendiendo a partir de usuarios reales.
***
## ¿Por qué unirte?
- Conoce a otros builders que realmente están trabajando en productos
- Comparte lo que estás construyendo y recibe feedback de calidad
- Descubre colaboraciones, posibles co-fundadores o nuevas ideas
- Ayuda a construir una comunidad tech visible y vibrante en la Riviera Maya
Si disfrutas crear tecnología para resolver problemas reales y valoras las conexiones auténticas entre pares, este es tu lugar.
***
P.D. Este es un grupo impulsado por la comunidad, enfocado en conexión, colaboración y aprendizaje. No en ventas ni promoción.

Riviera Maya Tech Builders — Built in Paradise 🌴
Nest Coworking (garden table area), Calle Avenida 10 entre calle 12 y 14,, Playa del Carmen, MX📅 May 27th | 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Nest Coworking – Playa del CarmenThis a new session of “Built in Paradise”—a series highlighting real tech products being built right here in Riviera Maya 🩴
It will be a builder feedback night. Basically, a focused, collaborative format where members of the community present what they’re building and receive thoughtful, actionable feedback. For this event, our friends of Nest Coworking will be kindly hosting us.
Two builders will present their projects, followed by open discussion and feedback from the group. This is a great opportunity to refine ideas, uncover blind spots, get perspectives from other experienced builders, and even find beta users.***
### What we’ll do
• Discover two real projects being built in Riviera Maya
• Understand their goals, challenges, and current stage
• Share constructive feedback, ideas, and suggestions
• Learn by analyzing real-world products together
• Strengthen the builder support network locally***
The goal remains simple:
Connect builders. Share knowledge. Help each other build 🚀
Come ready to think, contribute, and engage.
Remember: this is not a sales event. It’s a focused, builder-driven meetup.***
## 🚀 Presenting Projects
### CanUp
CanUp is the missing infrastructure for Canva Apps — cloud functions, subscription billing, usage credits, and a developer dashboard. A solo developer ships a paid Canva App in a weekend instead of spending months rebuilding auth, billing, and usage limits from scratch. Built in Riviera Maya, looking for honest builder feedback before public launch.
