This media release just went out from PioneerHQ.com about our joint effort:
PioneerHQ.com begins effort with Small Business Chamber of Commerce to help launch more startups.
DENVER, April 5, 2012 – Business owners who buy a marketing
page in the PioneerHQ.com business directory (www.PioneerHQ.com)
for their own business by July 1 will be able to designate a local chamber of
commerce, trade association, club, or local newspaper to receive a similar
PioneerHQ.com page for free.
The Small Business Chamber also will give the designated
organizations help to launch low cost/no cost IDEA Cafe Startup Workshops and
Franklin Circles with their members.
Announcing the new effort, PioneerHQ.com co-founder Robert
Schwab said, “Now that SB 143, which would have duplicated our efforts with tax
dollars, is behind us, we plan to reach out aggressively to businesses
throughout the state to offer them the opportunity to participate.” The
outreach will include contacting every chamber of commerce in Colorado to
solicit their assistance with the project.
When PioneerHQ.com launched last month, John Brackney,
president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, said: “I
applaud the founders of PioneerHQ.com for their ambitious effort to provide a
much-needed resource for businesses statewide. 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. 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.
PioneerHQ.com was founded by 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 in 2011
and since 1994 has organized and facilitated IDEA Cafes and Franklin Circle
Peer Advisory Groups that help 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.
