The idea of fayVen was born from the frustration of booking live events. fayVen is giving the power back to vendors by giving them an all-inclusive platform to help with planning their pop-ups, and helping venue owners by allowing them to rent their unused space and generate new revenue and lots more foot-traffic.

Our Story
Being a mobile vendor myself, was the reason that I started fayVen. When I started my first business, a gourmet popcorn company I was making my product from home and couldn’t sell it in stores or online. Going to farmers’ markets was frustrating… Being a mobile vendor myself, was the reason that I started fayVen. When I started my first business, a gourmet popcorn company I was making my product from home and couldn’t sell it in stores or online. Going to farmers’ markets was frustrating and didn’t have my target customers and local events/markets were even worse! The lack of transparency was frustrating, never knowing who to contact, how much events cost to participate in, having no foot-traffic, no ROI, no access to hand-washing stations or restrooms, the list goes on and on. But having the customer feedback directly from the people who were suffering the most was instrumental in knowing what to build for them/us.
