Our story

“Large corporates got the red carpet. Growing businesses got the maze.”

Rohit Mathur and Harte Thompson spent over 10 years at Citibank seeing the frustrations that borrowers face firsthand, so they built Bridge with the support of Citi Ventures and Citi Commercial Bank. In 2023, Bridge spun out of Citi and raised a seed round from leading venture investors as an independent company, keeping the institutional discipline, removing the friction.
