What is Heyven?

Heyven is an online directory of Minnesota's creatives, businesses, and nonprofits. We want browsers to discover great local businesses, support the communities you love, and help us grow Minnesota's thriving economic ecosystem. Learn more about us.

What are the differences in profile types?

We define Creators as individuals with personal brands—influencers, models, photographers, artists—anyone whose face and name is at the forefront of their business.

We define Businesses as organizations offering products and/or services for profit. These often have a created brand name.

We define Nonprofits as groups organized for purposes other than generating profit. These organizations work to alleviate specific pain points within the community through the products and/or services they provide.

Do you offer Nonprofit pricing?

Nonprofits get a FREE Premium Membership! We typically ask for a receipt of an in-kind donation equal to the annual membership fee ($150). We may also request verification of your 501(c), 501(c)3, or other nonprofit status.

Please reach out to us at info@heyven.co with any questions.

How is an organization's ownership or leadership classified?

When filling out your Profile, you may choose to self-identify your ownership or leadership, using tags such as “Black-owned” or “AAPI Creator". Our users will be able to browse these tags and discover your profile.

You may also choose to designate your preferred pronouns.

These self-identification features are entirely optional.

We honor each member's choice of self-identification and we do not require any proof. Heyven is not liable for any misrepresented profiles on our website.

What is included with my profile?

Here are the features of each Profile type:

Creators: profile image (headshot), banner image, name, title, self-identification info, short personal bio, offerings, email link, website link, social media handles, images, communities.

Businesses: profile image (logo or headshot), banner image, business name, business position, self-identification info, short company bio, offerings, email link, website link, social media handles, images, communities.

Nonprofits: profile image (logo), banner image, self-identification info, short organization bio, causes, email link, website link, social media handles, images, communities.

Do my photos have to be a certain size when uploading?

Yes! Due to the high volume of photos hosted on our site, we require that each and every photo submitted must be under 2MB. Any photos submitted over this size will be compressed before being added to your profile.

What can I expect when becoming a member?

Standard Members will be listed on our Explore and Browse pages throughout the website. The directory is free-to-browse, and our users will be able to find your profile based on your city, ownership, industry, and more. Users can then connect with you via your profile's website link, email link, and/or social media handles.

In addition to the above, Premium Members will be recommended to our users and will also enjoy promotion via our external marketing channels. Here is a breakdown of the Premium Member perks:

New Member Introduction Post - Debut in style with a one-time introduction in our next monthly New Members announcement post.

Recommended to Browsers - Your profile will be featured prominently as a Recommended Member on our directory.

Premium Member Promotion - You will be promoted once every other month (six times per 12-month membership period) via one of our external marketing channels: email, blog, or social media. Heyven will typically decide the exact nature of this Feature. In addition, you may contact us up to six (6) times per 12-month membership period and make a request for a specific type of promotion. For example: “This month, I’d like for my new store opening to be announced on Instagram.”

How long does the new member process take?

We are a small team of two and our new member process will take anywhere from 1-3 business days from when you submit your signup form. We may be processing several new members at the same time, and so these times will vary.

How do I make changes to my profile?

Standard Members can request two profile changes per year and Premium Members can request four per year. Members can reach out to us anytime at members@heyven.co with specific changes.

What is your refund policy?

We are not able to offer refunds on your membership. Once a payment has been submitted the sale is final and your membership will remain active until the end of your subscription period.

If you need to step away from your business, we can deactivate or reactivate your profile at anytime upon your request.
