About BhamHub
Local discovery with receipts
BhamHub helps Alabama 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.
Our mission
Make Alabamafeel 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.
How we source events
Step 1
Start with official listings
We pull from venue calendars, tourism boards, universities, parks departments, and trusted local listings, not random scrapers.
Step 2
Verify before we show it
Each event needs a real date, Alabama location, and a working link back to the organizer or ticketing page.
Step 3
Summarize in our own words
We extract facts (who, when, where, price) and write a short original summary. We do not copy long descriptions from other sites.
Step 4
Route you to the source
Every card links out so you can buy tickets, RSVP, or confirm details on the organizer's site.
Independent build
BhamHub 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 BhamHub.
Founder
Eric Raymond
Eric built and self-funded BhamHubafter 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.
BhamHub is his answer: a map-first, source-backed platform forAlabama, starting in Birmingham 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 Birmingham. Building in public for Alabama residents first.
