How it works

The scattered, made legible.

Live music data was never built to be read. It lives in hundreds of thousands of calendars, feeds, flyers and posts, each with its own spelling of the same venue. Cultivate reads all of it and returns one record per venue, per artist, per show.

01 · The problem

Live music is the last major industry without a source of truth.

Every other live-entertainment category has a registry. Film has box office. Sport has schedules. Live music has a hundred thousand calendars that disagree with each other, and an industry that books around the disagreement. So the biggest decisions in the business get made on instinct and a group chat.

04 · Kept clean

Refreshed weekly. Corrected continuously.

Weekly event refreshListings that vanish from their sources are aged out, not left to rot.
Duplicate huntingName variants, same-address venues and "X at Y" venue names are merged with an audit trail, and the merged IDs keep resolving.
Contacts verifiedVenue and artist contacts are crawled from the entities' own sites and judged before they are applied.
Genre from behaviourA venue's genre focus comes from what it has booked, not from a self-description.
Provenance on every fieldEvery record knows how many sources it came from and how confident the merge was.
A data-quality consoleCoverage, gaps and staleness are watched inside the app, per state.
