Who we are
One umbrella for everything that connects the community.
GayHearts Europe develops and runs GayHearts and builds its partnerships across Europe. Under this umbrella, step by step, we are building our own independent infrastructure: no investors, no ad banners, carried by the community.
GayHearts EuropeDevelopment, partnerships, Heart Fund
Vibe Radar
The map of places where queer people are welcome, maintained by the community.
Events & booking
Table reservations, tickets and direct bookings right in the app.
Heart Fund
A fixed share of revenue goes to queer projects and support services.
GayHearts Europe is currently being incorporated. We are setting up the company structure that will keep GayHearts and all future projects independent for good.

Voices from the community
The community is already here. And it meets up.
What members write under our TikTok videos shows what queer people are looking for: places where they can be exactly who they are.
“I love the app because you can be who you are. Whether you're looking for love, friendship or something else, it's always best when nothing is prescribed.”
“Finally someone talks about it. It's depressing to be rejected just because you're not sporty or don't have muscles.”
“Meeting up with a few people from the community today. Great! We're planning another meetup in December, it was really fun.”

Heart Fund
Part of it flows back into the community.
Depending on the Premium plan, 3 to 12% of revenue goes into the Heart Fund, plus a share of every partner fee. It supports queer projects and support services, transparently and together with the community.
Want to do more? As a Sponsor Partner (Bronze, Silver or Gold), 10 to 25% of your fee goes straight into the Heart Fund, with a badge in the app and a written contribution certificate.

Who is behind it
Independently built in Duisburg.
I'm Sven Ihrke. I build the technology behind GayHearts myself and take care of partnerships and the Heart Fund. I'm building GayHearts because it's the place I always wished for: safe, honest and for all queer people, in big cities as much as in the countryside.
If you have questions as a partner, write to me directly. I answer personally.

Before you partner with us
Clear answers.
Who can become a partner?
Businesses, organisations and services with a clearly queer-friendly offer. Every request is reviewed personally before a partner profile goes live.
What does a partnership cost?
Plans start at €49 per month and can be cancelled at any time. Founding Partners try it free for 90 days and then pay 50% less, permanently. Associations, initiatives and counselling services join for free.
What does “no ad banners” mean for partners?
GayHearts shows no classic ad banners. Partner offers appear in relevant areas such as the Vibe Radar, the event calendar and partner profiles, and are always labelled as partners there. Matching and community recommendations cannot be bought.
Is the booking system available yet?
Not yet. Direct bookings for tables, tickets and rooms are in development. Right now it's about partner profiles, places, events and member perks.
In which countries is GayHearts available?
GayHearts is available in 28 European countries including Switzerland. The partner network starts with Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland and Czechia.
How are GayHearts and GayHearts Europe connected?
GayHearts Europe is the umbrella: it develops the GayHearts app and builds the European partnerships. The long-term company structure is being set up; GayHearts Europe is currently in formation.
