Bridge 2 Technologies Simplifies Diverse Vendor Identification for Companies

Bridge 2 Technologies has announced the launch of its vendor marketplace after spending two years in beta testing. The platform, featuring around 3,000 vendors and 500 corporations, will use algorithm-driven technology to aid corporations in finding diverse vendors. Bridge 2 Technologies founder and CEO, Eric Kelly, said it was important the platform was highly curated, so the curated set of companies had passed some sort of diversity certification from a vendor perspective. Kelly added that both vendors and corporations will pay for the platform, driving revenue from both sides. While the platform is intended to help companies find diverse vendors, it remains a for-profit venture, he said.
