Our Mission

HEAD WEST was founded in partnership with community-minded venues such as the iconic SF Ferry Building, Hayes Valley in San Francisco, Downtown Walnut Creek, The Barlow in Sebastopol, Downtown San Mateo, State Street in Los Altos, Fourth Street in Berkeley and Lot 2270 Broadway Northlake in Oakland.

HEAD WEST is a destination to connect with hyper-local, small businesses β€” strengthening ties to the local economy and for our β€˜Creatives Supporting Creatives’ platform.

HEAD WEST venues are rooted in neighborhood merchant corridors and iconic destinations that provide accessibility for local creatives and their customers. By being strategic on location, we are also able to open up opportunities to engage with all walks of life.

HEAD WEST has been passionately focused on marketplaces for entreprenuers to thrive in the Bay Area since 2016, and look forward to supporting those creatives for years to come.

JOIN THE HEAD WEST FAMILY

From new small businesses, emerging brands and those well-established, HEAD WEST brings together a diversity of entrepreneurs. Having an accessible and affordable space means connection to a wide array of goods and products at all value levels. Each marketplace is highly curated to be mindful of quality, craft skill, environmental impact and community consciousness.

Inclusivity is rooted at the core of HEAD WEST, bringing together creatives across a multitude of demographics, specifically encouraging our fellow BIPOC, AAPI, and LGBTQIA+ peers to apply for a Community Booth β€” a no-cost booth space to celebrate and amplify the journey of the entrepreneur through their story of resistance, perseverance and resiliency.

HEAD WEST is committed to holding space for those underrepresented peoples and communities through championing equality, restoring equity + demanding justice for all.
