Build a Filtered Family Event Feed for Your City

1. 1

   Curate one metro to completeness

   Venue calendars, library systems, parks departments, museums, and the church-basement circuit: build the source list until a parent can trust that if it is not in the feed, it is not happening; completeness in one city beats coverage of ten.

2. 2

   Tag like a parent thinks

   Age fit (toddler, elementary, teen), real cost including parking, indoor versus outdoor, stroller reality, and registration deadlines; the filters are the product, because the parental question is never 'what is happening' but 'what works for us'.

3. 3

   Ship the weekend email first

   A Thursday email ('this weekend, for your kids' ages, sorted by your side of town') builds the habit and the audience before any app exists; the app follows the audience, not the reverse.

4. 4

   Automate aggregation, keep human judgment

   Scrapers and organizer submission forms feed a review queue; a human pass catches the cancelled, the misdescribed, and the secretly-a-sales-pitch, and that editorial trust is the moat the generic aggregators never built.

5. 5

   Monetize the demand you now own

   Featured placements for organizers, sponsorships from local family businesses (pediatric dentists, swim schools), and ticketed-event affiliate fees; the same engine, reskinned for a college town's student life, is a second market this card explicitly covers, not a separate business.

6. 6

   Expand by franchise-like playbook

   Each new metro needs a local curator; license the platform to parent-operators per city on a revenue share rather than pretending to curate three time zones yourself, and the model scales the way local media actually scales.
