Bowerbird is a personal property management platform and service for high and very high net worth individuals. We bring the same level of sophistication to personal property that Wall Street wealth managers bring to financial assets. We do this through the one-of-a-kind combination of software, services and support. We start with a comprehensive home inventory, completed by an experienced surveyor. All of this information is uploaded to the personal property management database. From here, our service team can help users in a number of areas, including insurance, valuation, taxes, care, etc. We alert users to relevant news and opportunities. We provide access, training and integration for insurance agents, estate attorneys/planners, tax professionals, private bankers/wealth managers and other providers. To aid us, we are also working on building a number of intelligent tools related to automatic valuation, insurance, lending, news/alerts, and syncing with other personal accounts.

The BIG App was born from a personal struggle. I was broke, stressed about rent, trapped in minimum payments, watching debt grow no matter how hard I worked. I asked myself two questions: What do broke people want most? Money. What's second? Free things. That's where this started. I'm building a goal-based savings platform and debit card for everyday Americans tired of financial products that work against them. Every swipe of the BIG Card gives users a real chance to win meaningful cashback, automatically routed toward their most important goals. Paying off debt. Building savings. Getting ahead for once. No overdraft fees. No fine print traps. Just a card that fights for you. Save BIG. Buy BIG.
