A community-powered guide to meaningful connection, collaboration, and visibility.

Organized for you

We’ve grouped our members to help you find exactly who you need, right when you need them. Browse our categorized member directory to find local products & services, helpful resources, and events in Central MN.

Let's be real. Finding what matters shouldn't be hard.

That’s why we built Collective.Guide: to give you one place to explore what’s happening, find the people doing cool things, and get connected without shouting into the void of social media.

Whether you’re planning your weekend, looking for a reliable local service, or just trying to support good people in your town — Collective makes it easier (and way more fun).

You can:

Browse by keyword, category, or even vibe
Find events, pop-ups, sales and community gatherings
Connect with real humans doing meaningful work
Share your own events, businesses, or stories
Discover inspiration in stories from around your community

We believe discovery should feel like serendipity, not a scavenger hunt.
Start exploring or become a member to get seen.

Don't just take our word for it...

Collective.guide builds community instead of just listing services. Most online directories are transactional and designed to sell leads or collect ratings. Collective.guide is relational and designed to strengthen trust and connect real people.

‍Our members and users can tell you themselves! Members love sharing their work, connecting, and being discovered. Users love exploring, supporting local talent, and discovering what makes our community so great. Whether you’re showcasing or searching, everyone’s here for the same reason: to celebrate the best of what’s around us.

“Collective is a budget, community, and industry-friendly way of marketing and connecting with both clients and vendors. Steph's effective modern advertising ideas & methods are exceptional, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”

Collective Guide is a great resource to find and use the local businesses my the area. I can get my needs met and support the businesses in a way that will build my community. And I’ve discovered some new people that I’d like to meet and learn more about what they do and why.

Well Designed Bookkeeping

This looks FABULOUS!! I love everything about the listing with the description, contact & social media info, the “Get Connected” button, the map, the reviews, the photos - everything!

Collective is so helpful! To be able to search locally and find the small businesses that are often overlooked - the ones who CARE about who they are and the work they do. It is refreshing to not get lost in the ads or search for a service only to find ones from 2 hours away.
