CYBERSPACE—Tech company Sanctuary Innovations today announced the upcoming beta launch of Havven, a new creator platform aimed at the adult alternative lifestyle, kink and LGBTQ+ communities.
Targeting a beta launch of October 5, 2025, Havven is being built to solve the problems of safety, trust and economic opportunity that these communities have experienced on other platforms.
Havven is touted as "a complete social ecosystem built on a foundation of trust, providing a safe, modern, and economically empowering home for its members."
"We believe a platform's responsibility is to protect its community, not just provide server space," said Derek Hanjora, founder of Sanctuary Innovations and a UX leader with over 18 years of experience. "Havven is our commitment to a better future. We are not just building a better app; we are building a sanctuary where safety is the foundation, creators are true partners, and every user feels seen and respected."
Among Havven's core commitments to future users are:
• Every report of a Community Guidelines violation will be reviewed by a trained human who understands the context and nuance of the community.
• Creators will have a full suite of monetization tools—including profile subscriptions, PPV content, live streaming and tipping—all with a transparent revenue split.
• The platform is being built as a true safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community, with fully customizable profiles and tag-based discovery that moves beyond restrictive binaries.
To kickstart interest in the platform, Havven has launched two foundational programs:
The Creator Founder Program: The first 500 creators to join and be approved for Havven will receive an 85/15 revenue split for their first year (85 percent to the creator).
The Community-Build Initiative: All prospective users are invited to join the official Havven Discord server. This will serve as a pre-launch hub where members can participate in polls, provide direct feedback on features, and help shape the future of the platform. Discord members will receive priority access to the beta and first dibs on username reservations.
"We are building Havven with our community, not just for them," Hanjora added. "Their voices will define our roadmap. This is their revolution."
Interested creators and community members can get updates, sign up for beta access, and find the link to the official Discord by visiting www.havven.app.
