What Vegans Explore is, in one minuteNarrated by Liz the Explorer. Nothing plays until you press play.
Seven doors, one home base. Every one is free to look around.
Restaurants, causes, people, shops and more, all Vegan or with plant-based (Pre-Vegan) options, voted by members.
Ten years on the ground in Florida. Now the infrastructure to grow it.
You're a Vegan, a business owner building something plant-based, or someone who wants to fund the infrastructure that makes this movement grow.
This is for you.
We're building this to support businesses that are struggling, nonprofits that need backing, and individuals who can't find what they need.
People are doing incredible work all over the place, but no one is speaking to each other. We're not growing together; we're growing separately.
Vegans Explore is the platform for the Vegan movement. We build the infrastructure for cities: a directory so you can find what's happening, events so you know where to show up, job boards so you can work in this movement, and volunteer opportunities so you can contribute where it matters.
Small potlucks. Expos. Multiple festivals. For 10 years in South Florida and Central Florida we canvassed, connected, showed up at events, hosted festivals and went into restaurants to spotlight them.
Now the work agents can do gets done by agents, and our members focus on the relationships: going into restaurants, making real connections.
Looking around is free. Joining is free too: a short survey, and you are a member.
You get a dashboard with opportunities to get involved, ways to level up, and a points system you can use to support other businesses. You can launch your own projects, with the full LESARUSS ecosystem behind you.
How points workJoin a community from your city. It plugs you into what's going on and how to get involved.
We roll out new features and members beta them first. You give feedback. You help us build this. It's not a passive thing.
Join your cityOnce you join, your dashboard shows you exactly what you need to know. You never have to guess what's going on with Veganism in your city or any city. As we grow, so does what we do in your city, and you'll have a front row seat because you'll be making it happen.
Vegans Explore Inc. is a Florida nonprofit corporation. Your membership is a contribution to our community, not a tax-deductible donation.
The points economy: Joining is free with a short survey, and the survey earns you 250 points. Points come from what you do: Bounties, competitions and taking part in the community and on the site. Use points to unlock a Guide (1,100 points), give a business a boost, or talk with your Guide. After that you buy only what you want: Guides ($11), merchandise and event tickets, and every purchase earns a 25-point thank-you. Points are never bought.
Each one walks you through a part of Vegan life, in their own voice.
Join your city and find out what's going on in your community and around the world. Other communities are launching soon.
Free to look around. Pick your city and see what's happening.
Membership is free: a short survey is the way in, and it earns you 250 points. Founding Membership closes at midnight Eastern on January 1, 2027.
