HappyCow is a mobile app and website that lists vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and also a passionate community of over one million vegan-focused members.

HappyCow was founded in 1999 by Eric Brent as an online food guide to help travelers find vegan options around the world.

This has since been modified into a more flexible set of guidelines based on the alternative availability of vegan food in the area.

Sources of funding include advertisements, business sponsorships, app downloads, and user contributions.

The Partner Program includes three tiers — Premium, Essentials and Lite — and is available to any business with a listing.

In addition to independent projects, HappyCow frequently collaborates with other vegan and vegan-friendly brands and organizations, including Plant Based Treaty.
