PioneerHQ.com seeks to list all 400,000 businesses in
Colorado for free
DENVER, March 5, 2012 – A free business directory listing
every one of Colorado’s 400,000 businesses and market information about
industries operating in the state?
That’s the ambitious goal of PioneerHQ.com, a new online
business directory and almanac being launched today. PioneerHQ.com is patterned
after The Texas Almanac, which provides a business directory and wealth of
business-related information.
“We’re not there yet, of course,” said PioneerHQ.com
co-founder John S. Wren. “We’re just getting started. But we plan to reach out
aggressively to businesses throughout the state to offer them the opportunity
to participate.” The outreach to businesses will include contacting every
chamber of commerce in Colorado to solicit their assistance with the project.
“I applaud the founders of PioneerHQ.com for their ambitious
effort to provide a much-needed resource for businesses statewide,” said John
Brackney, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “And
I especially like the fact that they plan to work with the state’s local
chambers of commerce.”
“PioneerHQ.com is an almanac and business directory serving
the Colorado business community as a meeting place, information source and
marketing tool,” Wren said. “The almanac will provide the latest market
information about industries operating in the state and put the information in
historical context to give businesses a real-time perspective on the growth or
decline of the markets where they do business. The directory will serve as a
real-time measure of market participants and a source for finding customers,
partners, investors and suppliers.”
In addition to free listings available to any business in
Colorado, the directory will include paid listings that offer businesses an
opportunity to offer more information about themselves. Go to www.PioneerHQ.com to sign up for a free
listing or obtain information about the paid listings. While PionerHQ.com
launched officially today, it has been in beta testing for several months.
PioneerHQ.com is the brainchild of three men with strong
ties to Colorado’s small-business community and a long history of helping small
business succeed and grow -- John S. Wren, Robert Schwab and Scott Rodgers.
Wren founded the Small Business Chamber of Commerce and
since 1994 has sponsored the Denver IDEA Cafe, a weekly discussion group that
helps people starting new careers, new projects or new businesses.
Schwab was editor of ColoradoBiz magazine for seven years
and is a former small-business columnist and deputy business editor of The
Denver Post. He was named Region VIII Small Business Advocate of the Year by
the U.S. Small Business Administration in 1998. He writes a blog on small
business, politics and other issues.
Rodgers is a digital marketing engineer who has enabled
organizations to take advantage of the web to engage their audiences and meet
business objectives since 2001. He has managed over 120 websites owned by
radio, television and newspaper properties and was at the center of building a
$4 million digital media business.
