Our Mission

We Capture the History of Cities in the Vegan Movement.

LESARUSS is not just a directory. It is a living archive. When we document a city, we preserve what its community contributed to the plant-based movement, for residents today and visitors tomorrow.

Every restaurant, brand, nonprofit, event, and creator listed here is part of a larger story. Your story.

The Vision
1,000

Communities by 2030.

LESARUSS is not just one platform. It is the beginning of a network. Every city has a Vegan story worth telling. Our goal is to reach 1,000 communities by 2030, each with its own living archive of the people, businesses, and organizations driving the plant-based movement forward.

When you join, you are not just signing up for a directory. You are helping build something that outlasts any single restaurant, brand, or trend. You are planting a flag that says: this city showed up.

The Founder

Sean Russell

I built LESARUSS because I saw something missing. There were Vegan restaurants, brands, nonprofits, and creators doing incredible work in their cities, but no one was connecting them. No one was documenting what they were building. No central place existed for the community to find each other and grow together.

I have spent years building systems that help people grow their brands and businesses. LESARUSS is that same energy applied to the plant-based movement. This is not just a directory or an app. It is an archive. A record of what our communities are contributing to something bigger.

My role here is simple: serve the community. Connect people to the right resources, give businesses a platform to be seen, and make sure the story of this movement gets told properly, city by city.

Questions

What People Ask.

Do I have to be Vegan to join?
No. Vegans Explore is for anyone interested in plant-based living, from the curious to the committed. Your Passport assessment places you on the right pathway regardless of where you are.
What is the Passport?
The Passport is your personalized entry into the platform. After a short assessment, we identify your member type (Pre-Vegan, Seasoned, Entrepreneur, Nonprofit, or Creator) and build a custom pathway with relevant content, tools, and connections.
How is this different from other Vegan platforms?
Most platforms list restaurants and stop there. We build a living archive of each city's contribution to the plant-based movement, connecting restaurants, brands, nonprofits, creators, and community members into one ecosystem.
Can I list my business?
Yes. Any Vegan or Vegan-friendly business can be listed in the directory. Advanced and Premium members can claim and manage their listings directly.
What regions are you in?
We are actively building in South Florida (Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach), Central Florida (Orlando, Tampa), Atlanta, and New York. New regions are added based on community demand and partnership.

This Is Bigger
Than Food.

It is culture. It is history. It is a movement that deserves to be documented, connected, and built upon. Help us reach 1,000 communities. Start with yours.
