thinkbridge

The year was 2014. Software development was becoming increasingly commoditized. Speed and cost issues were taking priority over strategy, execution, and long-term scalability. Growth-stage companies were getting caught in the middle of it all. If they turned to one of the many smaller dev shops that emerged, they wouldn’t get the strategic capabilities and thinking needed to make their project successful. But if they went with a big consulting firm, the costs would be prohibitive. That’s when a group of consulting and technology veterans came together over a new idea for software development. They knew that developers would get better results if they had more time to think through their projects before rushing straight to coding. And they wanted to start an employee-focused company that was all about enabling developers to do their best work. So they created a new model for outsourced development where developers would spend 80% of their time thinking about the solution and 20% coding it. This would give smaller companies the strategic thinking needed to compete with much larger corporations. Today, thinkbridge is how mid-market companies turn into tech disruptors, drive growth, and increase their valuations. Middle market leaders are no longer stuck between the limitless costs of big consulting firms and the limited capabilities of smaller dev shops. With a unique “think bigger, move faster, go further” approach to technology innovation, thinkbridge has achieved a client NPS rating in the 90s and a client retention rate of over 90%. thinkbridge. There’s a new way there Think Bigger | Move Faster | Go Further

About thinkbridge

thinkbridge is how growth-stage companies can finally turn into tech disruptors. They get a new way there – with world-class technology strategy, development, maintenance, and data science all in one place. But solving technology problems like these involves a lot more than code. That’s why we encourage think’ers to spend 80% of their time thinking through solutions and 20% coding them. With an average client tenure of 4+ years, you won’t be hopping from project to project here – unless you want to. So, you really can get to know your clients and understand their challenges on a deeper level. At thinkbridge, you can expand your knowledge during work hours specifically reserved for learning. Or even transition to a completely different role in the organization. It’s all about challenging yourself while you challenge small thinking.

thinkbridge is a place where you can:
  1. Think bigger – because you have the time, opportunity, and support it takes to dig deeper and tackle larger issues.
  2. Move faster – because you’ll be working with experienced, helpful teams who can guide you through challenges, quickly resolve issues, and show you new ways to get things done.
  3. Go further – because you have the opportunity to grow professionally, add new skills, and take on new responsibilities in an organization that takes a long-term view of every relationship.
thinkbridge..there’s a new way there. ™
