Vegans Explore

Good people build incredible things. Almost nobody can find them.

Since 2016 we’ve worked alongside hundreds of Vegan businesses, nonprofits, and events. Vegans Explore exists to close that gap: one home base to connect every city, every cuisine, every community, so nobody in this movement has to build alone.

What’s been missing

The home our community never had.

Our community has done incredible things with whatever tools were around. What’s been missing is the infrastructure: one place to organize, find each other, and grow, built for us from the start.

That’s what we’re building, and we get to build it together.

Your city, right now

Here’s what’s already here.

  • The Pulse: hundreds of local community stories, the things you’d usually hear about a week too late
  • Real ways to get involved in your city, right now
  • A Directory of Vegan and Vegan-friendly places
  • A hub for your city, and your own dashboard with AI Guides to help you find your way

Not someday. Today.

Show up in person

A screen is where you find each other. A room is where it sticks.

  • Community Nights, our in-person events, starting in South Florida this fall
  • Every city built by a Community Manager, a real person who knows the local scene
  • South Florida first, then Orlando and New York, then Los Angeles

More than 500 events hosted and backed since 2016. People don’t need convincing. They need a place to show up.

The Community Board

Ask your city. Find who can help.

We’re creating solutions that help us organize, communicate, grow, and experience the Vegan lifestyle together. The Community Board is one of them: one place in your city to ask, offer, and find who can help.

  • Post a request or an offer to your city, and find it again later
  • Check someone’s profile before you trust them
  • Report anything that doesn’t feel right, and your city’s Community Manager looks at it

Straight up

Unfinished on purpose.

This isn’t finished, and that’s on purpose. I believe brands launch before they’re finished, and founding members are the ones who help fund building them.

You’re not waiting on a finished product. You’re the ones who decide what this becomes.

Common questions

Is it a subscription?

No. Founding Membership is one contribution, one time, and it never renews. You can contribute again whenever you like, and every dollar adds 100 points.

Why is there no free membership?

You can look around the Directory, the Pulse, the communities and the Board without an account. Joining is how you take part: posting, replying, voting and reaching people directly. Your contribution is how we grow and keep this running.

Is my contribution a donation?

No. It is a membership contribution to Vegans Explore, not a tax-deductible donation.

What do points do?

Points unlock guides (a guide is 1,100 points) and more over time. You also earn points by taking part.

How does checkout work?

Checkout is secure through Stripe, and Stripe emails your receipt. Your membership and points are added as soon as the payment goes through.
