Hey there! Jerry Limber here, COO of PenguinHub.ai. In our first post, we introduced what PenguinHub.ai is all about – bridging the gap between complex AI technology and small businesses. Today, I want to share more about the expertise behind our platform, why AI adoption is critical for small businesses right now, and what you can expect from our upcoming content.
The Expertise Behind PenguinHub.ai
PenguinHub.ai was founded by a team with deep experience in both technology implementation and business growth:
I’ve spent over 10 years as a technology executive specializing in strategy, operations, and go-to-market execution. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on using technology and data to solve complex business challenges, successfully leading strategic transformations across global technology enterprises with revenues exceeding $1 billion.
My co-founder, Brendan Lawrence, brings incredible expertise in driving growth and results. As CEO, Brendan has generated over half a billion dollars in affiliate sales and more than 100,000 leads for businesses throughout his career. His participation in over 10,000 publisher programs gives him unique insight into how businesses can leverage technology for tangible growth.
Together, we’ve built PenguinHub.ai with a clear vision: to democratize AI by making it accessible, actionable, and profitable for everyone—not just large corporations with unlimited resources.
Why AI Matters for Small Businesses: The Numbers Don’t Lie
The data on AI adoption speaks volumes about why this technology is becoming essential for businesses of all sizes:
- Global AI spending is projected to reach $632 billion by 2028, growing at 29% annually from 2024, according to IDC Research.
- For every dollar a company invests in generative AI, they can expect a 3.7x return on investment, as reported by Microsoft.
- In 2024, 65% of organizations regularly use generative AI—up 32% from 2023, according to McKinsey & Company.
These statistics tell a compelling story: AI is rapidly becoming a competitive necessity, not just a nice-to-have technology. Small businesses that don’t adapt risk falling behind competitors who are leveraging AI to work smarter, serve customers better, and scale operations more efficiently.
Common AI Challenges for Small Businesses
In our conversations with small business owners, we consistently hear concerns like:
“I don’t have a tech team.”
“I don’t have time to learn complicated systems.”
“I don’t have thousands to spend on enterprise software.”
“I have no idea where to even start with AI.”
These concerns are completely valid. Most AI solutions weren’t built with small businesses in mind—they’re often too complex, too expensive, or require technical expertise most small teams don’t have.

At PenguinHub.ai, we’ve built a marketplace that spans practically every area where small businesses can benefit from AI:
