Dating works better when somebody's there
Hven is a community of venues and coaches who make first dates happen — a table worth sitting at, and someone in your corner beforehand. If you run a space where people should meet, or you help people meet well, this is an invitation to join us.
Bringing dating back offline
Dating moved onto screens and quietly stayed there. People match, talk for weeks, and never meet. Hven is built the other way round: a match is a commitment to meet, and every match becomes a real date at a real place.
That only works with partners. Somewhere to go, and someone to help people walk in feeling ready. You already have what this needs — we're just the bridge between you and the people looking for it.
You host the first date
Cafés, bars, restaurants and experience hosts. Daters browse what you offer, pick you for their date, and turn up as a booked pair — no fees, and nothing to lose by trying it.
It's the oldest kind of trade, really: we send people who want a table, you give them somewhere worth remembering it.
Guests arrive already booked
A Hven date lands as a confirmed booking — a time, a party of two, and the experience they chose. Nothing for you to chase.
No fees, and nothing at risk
No listing fee, no commission on the booking, no minimum spend. You're not buying leads — you're being handed guests who have already decided to come.
Covers on your quiet nights
First dates fill the midweek and early-evening tables that usually sit empty, and they arrive as pairs who came to stay a while.
Build a practice with global reach
Dating and relationship coaches. Grow your presence inside a community of people who are actively dating — not scrolling past an ad, but looking for exactly your help.
Reach past your postcode
Your practice stops being limited to who walks past your door. Hven puts you in front of people who are actively dating, wherever they are.
Build a following through content
Publish to the Hven community — posts, articles, structured modules. People find you by what you have to say, not by an ad spend.
Offer a short free consultation
Give daters a first session at no cost, so they can find the coach who actually fits them. It's the lowest-friction way to start a client relationship.
Then it's yours
Anything beyond that first session is arranged directly between you and the client — your format, your rates, your terms. Hven doesn't sit in the middle.
Hven takes no cut
Not from the venue, not from the coach, and not from the session or the table. We're a platform, not a middleman — here to strengthen the businesses and professionals who make dating work in real life, and the industry they're part of.
No listing fee, subscription or joining cost for partners
No commission on a venue booking or a coaching session
No paid placement — daters see what suits their date, not who paid
Every partner is reviewed by our team before going live — see the Partner Agreement.
Who is responsible for what
Hven is a platform that introduces people — to each other, and to you. We are not a party to the booking, the session, or the payment that follows. Being clear about that up front is what keeps the partnership fair.
Hven does
- Connect users with verified coaches and venues
- Verify identities and review every partner before they go live
- Set community standards, and act on reports quickly
- Cooperate with you in reporting incidents to local authorities
You do
- Deliver your own service, at your own premises or session
- Take payment directly, and issue invoices when a client asks
- Carry your own licences, insurance, and taxes
- Report anything you see that puts someone at risk
What we ask of coaches
One to three activity modules and one to three articles a month — at least one of each — plus a free initial consultation for interested users. Everything after that consultation, including the session link and the payment, is arranged directly between you and your client.
If something goes wrong
Emergencies go to local emergency services first. For incidents such as assault or harassment, venue hosts and Hven cooperate to report to the competent authorities. Hven covers no costs arising from an incident — medical, legal, security, or otherwise.
This is a summary. The full Partner Agreement is what you accept at signup, and it governs — including fees, payments, content standards, marketing, and liability. No partner fees are charged until further notice.
Come in early
