We're a group of data scientists and engineers

We started Bridgement with a single goal:

To use technology and data science to bring a new approach to traditional business funding and to minimise the complexity and costs associated with it.

With this goal in mind, we built the simplest way for businesses to get funding in South Africa, using AI to offer near-instant decisions on applications and removing the need for lengthy forms and long-term commitments. With our diverse and unconventional backgrounds, we are disrupting business funding with revolutionary credit risk models that use thousands of data points to assess the financial health of each business – all in a matter of seconds.
