About BeantownHub
BeantownHub helps Massachusetts residents see what is actually happening near them on a map, in a daily briefing, and in a verified events catalog. We are a discovery layer: we organize public listings and send you to the source to take action.
Make Massachusettsfeel smaller in the best way: one place to find tonight's events, trusted local intel, and community resources with clear sourcing, no mystery content, and links that go somewhere real.
Step 1
We pull from venue calendars, tourism boards, universities, parks departments, and trusted local listings, not random scrapers.
Step 2
Each event needs a real date, Massachusetts location, and a working link back to the organizer or ticketing page.
Step 3
We extract facts (who, when, where, price) and write a short original summary. We do not copy long descriptions from other sites.
Step 4
Every card links out so you can buy tickets, RSVP, or confirm details on the organizer's site.
BeantownHub is independently built and self-funded by Eric Raymond. No organization is presented as a partner, sponsor, funder, or backer unless a formal relationship is confirmed.
Built by one person, accountable to the source
The platform, editorial system, and operating costs are currently carried by the founder. Local organizations may appear as sources for individual listings, but that does not mean they endorse, fund, sponsor, or partner with BeantownHub.
Eric Raymond
Eric built and self-funded BeantownHubafter seeing how hard it was to answer a simple question: “What's actually going on near me tonight?” Event listings were scattered across dozens of sites, intel was buried in social feeds, and too many aggregators copied content without linking back to organizers.
BeantownHub is his answer: a map-first, source-backed platform forMassachusetts, starting in Boston and expanding across the state, with transparent sourcing, outbound links on every listing, and tooling for creators and community members who want to share what they find.
Based in Boston. Building in public for Massachusetts residents first.
Questions, corrections, partnership ideas, or takedown requests: we respond to source and community mail directly.
