Connecting Rural New Zealand

OUR MISSION

Connecting rural New Zealand.

RuralHQ is a platform built to ‘Connect Rural New Zealand’.

  • Connect you with good, honest, reputable local businesses.
  • Connect you with interesting, relevant, and timely information.
  • Connect you with other rural people that have the same interests, issues, and concerns.

By collectively sharing knowledge and experiences on RuralHQ, rural communities are empowered to get information and make better decisions faster.

WHY?

We want to empower rural communities!

Word of mouth has served you well, but now there’s a better way. 

In our ever increasingly digital age, we saw that rural communities have a need which is currently under served by existing technologies. Word-of-mouth sharing of knowledge, experiences, and information is quickly moving online. We’ve built RuralHQ to enable this sharing in a new and more efficient way so that rural people can find what they need and make better decisions faster.

The main problem we’ve sought to solve with RuralHQ is rural communities’ lack of a solid platform for sharing their knowledge and experiences online to benefit the wider rural community.

We have launched RuralHQ with the minimum set of features to start providing value to our community as soon as possible, but plan to extend the features of the platform as we figure out what the community need and want.

We’d love for you to help us guide this process, so that RuralHQ can become exactly what you need and want.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH RURALHQ?

Explore, Discover, Review, Share, Contribute.

We’re empowering rural communities to share their knowledge and experiences to benefit the wider community.

For many years, word-of-mouth has been the main method by which information was propagated throughout a community. However, word-of-mouth networks can only carry information so far. In our increasingly digital world with easier internet access than ever before, the flow of information has been opened wide up.

RuralHQ allows you to share what you know, and learn from others, more easily than ever before. Information and experiences can now be shared way beyond traditional networks for the benefit of the wider rural community.
