Rich's was founded in 1982 by Rich Schmieder who saw a need for a mapped database of companies in Silicon Valley. The first Rich's Business Directory was produced in 1982 and contained 1,100 companies with locator maps and basic company information.

Throughout the past 25 years, Rich’s has continued to grow and evolve our product range. In 2005 we acquired Alexander X, a publisher of business data in San Diego and publishers of information in the Bioscience industry.

Our mantra is to track and monitor fast-moving high-tech, bioscience and office-based businesses so that our customers can get the best prospecting and business contact intelligence available. Our website was launched in 1992 in a very basic form, and has grown in functionality and capability as our services have expanded.

2008 is a breakout year for Rich’s. We will making some major announcements in September as we strive to, once again, remain the best data intelligence producer in California. For a list of our products click the link above, or feel free to contact us by calling 1-800-969-7424.
