Heyven is a virtual neighborhood showcasing Minnesota-based creators, small businesses, and nonprofits. We make it easier to discover and connect with local businesses, support the communities you care about, and strengthen our community. Learn more about us.

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

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. This includes 501(c) and 501(c)3 organizations, as well as some social enterprises. These organizations work to alleviate specific pain points within the community through the products and/or services they provide.

We used to offer free memberships for Non-Profits and have moved towards a ore affordable price that works for both business and nonprofits. Now, nonprofits can pay $50 for a lifetime membership (for a limited time).

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