Something big just happened in Jefferson County.
The platform formerly known as Jeffco Legends has evolved — and it’s time you met the all-new Jeffco BdB: Your Local Business Database. Ask. Explore. Succeed.
What began in early 2024 as a bold new approach to local business news has transformed into something entirely new — a data-first business intelligence platform tailored for Jefferson County’s entrepreneurs, executives, and ecosystem builders.
Dynamic Dashboards. Curated Lists. Powerful AI-Powered Search.
Jeffco BdB is no longer just reporting on business — it’s mapping it in real time. Here’s what users can expect:
- A personalized, continuously updated dashboard showcasing headlines, top companies, and rankings
- Deep, enriched profiles of local businesses and leaders
- Smart list downloads and filters ideal for sales teams, investors, and analysts
- A chat-based search feature that pulls from a proprietary database of thousands of verified records — built and maintained by Jeffco BdB’s own research team
“We’re more business database now than business journal,” said co-founder Dan Feiveson. “Our news is a product of the data we build — not the other way around.”
Founded by longtime industry leaders Dan Feiveson and Doug Hopley, Jeffco BdB reflects their 25+ years in the space through Legendary Data, the Lakewood-based software company powering the data operations behind over 75 leading business publications — including American City Business Journals, Crain Communications, and BridgeTower Media.
Now, Feiveson and Hopley are flipping the model — creating a platform not for national syndication, but for their home community.
Helping guide that transformation is Bonnie Roche, owner and founder of Maikoa Consulting (www.maikoa.com), whose strategic advisory work shaped the platform’s redesign and user experience.
“This platform was built for everyone who contributes to the local business ecosystem — whether you’re a founder, an executive, an up-and-coming professional, or someone who supports small business in any way,” said Bonnie. “We focused on creating something that helps people connect to what matters — not just data, but opportunities. Because when people have access to the right information, communities rise together.”
Jeffco BdB isn’t just telling Jefferson County’s business story — it’s helping write the next chapter.
