Can’t find any indie hackers in my area?

by Rony Fadel

Hi IH!

I started indie hacking and nomad’ing about 6 months ago, starting in Latin America.

One thing I’ve found frustrating was not finding (any) local indie hackers:

In Mexico City and currently in Medellín, all nomads I’ve met were remote workers, but none were working/bootstrapping their own products.

Even local IH groups were mostly people working remotely, or for local tech/marketing companies.

Any tips to find indie hackers/bootstrappers locally?

You tried searching for meetups on meetup.com?

Or also - https://www.indiehackers.com/search?f=users&p=1&q=Medellín

  I'll check within IH.
  Meetup = nomads that are freelancing/working remotely, no hackers in sight!

I spent more time setting up cold email than actually selling. Here is what fixed it.

38 comments I got my first $159 in sales after realizing I was building in silence

36 comments I just wanted to taste AI coding tools. A week passed.

26 comments I got tired of rewriting the same content for 9 different platforms. So I built Repostify.

22 comments A pattern I keep seeing in EdTech: traffic isn't usually the problem.

20 comments I built a PDF API because every team I know has a haunted corner of their codebase they never want to open
