What a Partner is
A Partner is an inEden-affiliated brand or business that hosts events under the inEden banner. Where a Founder leads a community group and a Vendor runs a product Shop, a Partner is a brand we've chosen to co-present with — a studio, a boutique, a café, a wellness brand — whose events carry our name alongside theirs.
How Partners appear to members
You'll find Partners through Search → Businesses and through their group page in your city. A Partner has a native page in inEden's styling: hero image, tags, a map, and links to visit their site or Instagram. Following a Partner joins you to their club so their events reach your feed.
Being listed on inEden is discovery, not endorsement — but a Partner is a step beyond a listing: they've applied and been approved, so the affiliation is real. (For independent hosts who are surfaced but not affiliated, see Third-party listings.)
Partner events — the one place you RSVP in-app
Most events on inEden are discovery-only: you save "I'm going" privately or buy a ticket on the host's platform (see I'm going vs getting tickets). Partner-sponsored inEden events are the exception.
When inEden co-hosts an event with a Partner, you'll see a real RSVP button instead of "I'm going" or "Get tickets." Those are the events where our database actually knows the headcount, because we're a host, not just a signpost. At launch, partner events are seeded by our admin team.
Becoming a Partner
Partner applications are self-serve on the iPhone app (Paid tier), then admin-reviewed — no instant approval, no invite-only wall. You submit your brand, city, and links; we review for fit; approved Partners get their page and can be attached to co-hosted events. Billing is comped at launch.
If you think your brand is a fit, apply in-app, or email support@ineden.app and we'll point you to the form.
