VendorsMap
Our mission

Helping makers, markets and shoppers find each other.

VendorsMap was co-founded by a jewelry maker who has sold at markets for years. We're building what she wished she'd had: one place to find markets, run them, grow a small business, and sell without getting scammed.

Alyssa's story

Making it was never the hard part. Finding somewhere to sell it was.

Hi, I'm Alyssa.Jewelry maker and co-founder of VendorsMap

Four years ago, I moved across the country for college and took my jewelry business with me. I kept selling at markets, and eventually ran the largest gift store in New England, which I turned into a store built around local vendors.

So I've seen this from both sides: behind the table and behind the counter.

Both times I hit the same wall. Vendors, organizers, store owners and shoppers had no real way to find each other. That's the mission behind VendorsMap. We want to revolutionize the vendor industry.

Her goal is bigger than a website: revolutionize the vendor industry, and change the world for the people who make it.

What we're building

The tool she wished she'd had, for everyone around the table.

Find events

Farmers markets, craft fairs, festivals and pop-ups across the US and Canada, on one map, sorted by how far they are from you. Booth fees, deadlines and how to apply are right on the listing.

Open the map

Run events

Organizers take applications, lay out booths, collect fees and message vendors in one place, instead of a spreadsheet, an inbox and a stack of payment apps.

For organizers

Grow your business

Your own website, Social for graphics and captions for every market you do, and Your year to see what you sold, what it cost and what you kept.

See Social

Help local makers

Shoppers find the markets and makers near them. Vendor-based stores, like the one Alyssa ran, find makers to stock their shelves.

Find vendor-based stores

Stop the scamming.

Fake market listings take real booth fees from real vendors. Here's what we actually do about it.

How we keep VendorsMap safe

  • A person checks every listing.

    Every event an organizer creates waits for someone on our team to approve it before anyone can see it.

  • Fake organizers get banned.

    When we find one, the account is banned and every listing it posted comes down. In September we shut down six accounts posing as the organizers of well-known shows.

  • A first payout gets a second look.

    A new organizer's first withdrawal waits for a human check before any vendor money leaves VendorsMap.

  • And a safety net for members.

    If an event you found on VendorsMap turns out to be a scam, the Scam Protection Promise reimburses members up to $500.
