Our Mission

Bridge is a ground-up initiative aimed to democratize lending. Our goal is to provide a platform to give your business easy access to capital sourced from banks, which is often the most efficient form of long-term financing for growth. Bridge uses technology to digitize and optimize the loan search and application process while providing your business with access to some of the most competitive terms on the market from these participating banks.

Company Description

At Bridge, we’re redefining how businesses access capital in two of the most dynamic sectors in the U.S. economy: Hospitality and Working Capital. Our platform connects business owners with a network of over 100 commercial lenders, creating a competitive, transparent process to secure financing tailored to their needs.

Whether it's a hotel developer seeking construction capital or a fast-growing consumer brand needing inventory financing, Bridge empowers borrowers to take control of the financing process — and gives lenders the tools to find and underwrite deals faster.

Our platform combines modern technology, deep lender relationships, and a team of in-house capital experts to streamline commercial lending. We drive borrower demand through strategic partnerships and deliver capital access through a curated lender network including commercial banks, SBA lenders, CDFIs, credit funds, and more.

We’re on a mission to make financing efficient — and to do that, we’re building the next generation of AI-powered tools and services.
