About Us

Meet Bideako’s Owner and Founder, Anamarie Lopategui

My Story:

 
I’ve always been a go-getter. In 1963, my dad immigrated to the United States from the Basque Country in search of a better life. He spent several years in the mountains of Nevada and California as a sheepherder before starting his own business. He instilled a strong work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit and an “I can do anything I set my mind to” attitude in both his children. I’m forever grateful to him for doing this.

Growing up, I played sports in high school and continued to play collegiate soccer. I studied biology and criminal justice and went on to earn a master’s degree. While working on my degree, I became a business owner for the first time. I eventually sold this first successful business and switched paths to teach high school biological sciences. I enjoyed teaching tremendously and learned many invaluable skills. When life changed course again, I decided to return to my path as an entrepreneur - this time as a restaurant owner. I rebranded and grew a restaurant to a highly successful local icon before eventually selling it to pursue new paths. Creating, building and operating businesses is truly where my passion lies.

I understand the struggles and commitment that it takes to be a business owner. It took me nearly a decade to finally find the work-life balance that is crucial to avoid burnout and to devote the creative energy to grow and evolve my businesses. I started Bideako so that I can share my experience and knowledge with other business owners and managers to help them realize their potential and reach their business dreams.
