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.
