History
Rob Miller worked as a private investigator for Intel Corporation, but he left in 1986 to start Confi-Chek. This was a privately held corporation that provided public records and investigative information to attorneys, private investigators and other licensed professionals. According to the website bizjournals.com, Confi-Chek only supplies public records to other businesses.
In 1999 Rob Miller founded PeopleFinders. The company's original business model was to establish strategic deals with partners such as Classmates.com, but by 2003 Miller expanded the company for the purpose of providing public records to members of the general public.
