25 Years of software development through his own consulting firm, Bob Bigelow has designed, developed and implemented software systems for fortune 500 companies and quite a number of small business owners. Some of the clients range from Colombia TriStar Home Video; Sony Pictures; Parkinson, Wolfe, Lazar & Leo (Big 8 Insurance Litigator); First American Title Insurance; numerous systems in the Sales & Distribution industry; and more.

Projects would last 2-4 years for development and service up to 1,000+ users. The primary focus of these software systems was to radically cut costs by creating extremely efficient systems. Parkinson Wolfe realized a $600,000 expense cut in their first year and won a $50 million insurance litigation case due to their remote access system (back in the day) and extensive database searching capabilities.

Since 2003, Bob has turned his focus to website development for the small business entrepreneur (below $10 million/yr) and became fascinated with the start-up industry and set out to help people to implement their business strategies. He encountered two primary recurring issues that all small businesses seem to face, especially the start-ups.

1. The founder has one or two talents (at most) but attempts to carry out the tasks of multiple departments which are not in their realm of expertise. This is due to lack of sufficient funds and/or the inability to properly setup a management team.
2. Inability to raise sufficent start-up capital.

Bob's efforts are now focused on the new generation of small business entrepreneurs that are emerging. Working closely with Chris Bigelow (his 24 year old son) has brought the mind set and ideas of the generation that will shape our world's future into the FreshPeek strategy.

Taking a new look at business and proceeding with progressive methods, FreshPeek provides multiple platforms and venues for this new breed of entrepreneur that will inspire and lead them into succeed.

We are all about the Entrepreneur.

Business incubators are organizations that support the entrepreneurial process, helping to increase survival rates for innovative start up companies. Entrepreneurs with feasible projects are selected and admitted into the incubators, where they are offered a specialized menu of support resources and services.

As the economy slumps but the cost of living keeps rising people are getting restless in there jobs. The demand from people to start a new business is growing as more and more people want to become Entrepreneurs and start a business.

The question now is "where do I go"? FreshPeek's vision is to be at the front of this demand, online. Right now the way Social Networks are, they are not that important for the typical small business man as they stand today. There are some practical business reasons for some people to actually use Social Networks for business gain, but most people that have jumped on the Social Network bandwagon have found themselves left with a "is this all there is" kind of feeling. The value of the current public Social Networks for business oriented people is not what you can get out of them for gain today, but what you can learn by using them for practical gain tomorrow.

My Father and I designed and built this site around today’s Entrepreneur. We are a an online business incubator where a person with a product or service can come to one place on line and get the tools necessary to run a personal business.
