About Us

From Scott Swedorski

I am the former Editor-in-Chief (and the founder!) of Tucows. While working for the local library system in Flint Michigan in 1993, I noticed a rapidly growing interest in the phenomenon of the World Wide Web. At that time, there was very little information available about the Internet, how to get connected to it, or how to participate in it.... and I believed there
was a real need and desire for information
and public access to Internet-related software.

So, I created Tucows (which is actually an acronym for: The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software) to provide the public with free downloadable Internet-related software. The idea was a huge success, and what began as a one-man operation has since grown into an internationally-recognized company with more than 200 employees and offices in Toronto Canada and Flint Michigan.

In my new venture, Promaxum, I will work with your products the same way I have for the past 10 years -- beginning from the installation and working forward. I will provide you with suggestions regarding the look and feel of your product, how it works, and how it might work even better. I will also offer tips on registration options and incentives, as well as advice on Website design, and many other aspects of your overall business operation. Rest assured that when you let Promaxum market your software, you will be in very capable and qualified hands. And as always, my main objective will be to help you achieve the best possible exposure for your products in order to increase your sales.

My ultimate goal is to provide you with such valuable service that you simply won't want to operate your business without it!

Our Mission

Promaxum is a premiere submission, evaluation, and consultation service for software developers. Our marketing services will save you time and money, and will increase your sales.... all of which will allow you to focus more on what you do best -- enhancing existing products, and developing new ones. Our goal is simple -- to raise the awareness of your products, period. In today's market, having great products just isn't enough, even if yours are better than the rest -- they need to be noticed by the software-buying public and in order to be noticed, they must be prominently listed in all the right places. That allows those software users (your potential customers!) to find and purchase your products, instead of someone else's. Promaxum can make that happen!

For the past 10 years, I have been deeply involved in and devoted to the shareware industry. I have a strong commitment to the shareware concept, and to the promotion of shareware products. And as a result, in 2002 I was honored by being awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the SIAF (Shareware Industry Awards Foundation) for my strong support of shareware authors and the shareware industry.
