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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
