Our Vision

We are doing this because we believe that existing software charges business owners too much money and requires too much time, and leaves the owners feeling isolated and alone. Our software brings business together leveraging their collective power to reduce costs and save time. We also help business owners feel happier.
Bridge believes that helping local businesses is a key route to helping our communities. We believe thal indie shops increase employment and help collect local taxes to support for our schools, roads, and public. services.
