# thinkbridge

> thinkbridge is how growing companies move their operating logic out of employees' heads, spreadsheets and disconnected SaaS tools into custom-fit, AI-native software they own. There's a new way there™ with thinkOne, our methodology that pairs our forward-deployed experts with an agentic engineering and delivery platform. It's how our clients become software-defined businesses.

Key facts:

- Founded in 2009 as Anamika and renamed thinkbridge in 2014, by Anand Krishnan (Co-founder, Managing Partner and CEO) and Sai Ganesh (Co-founder, Managing Partner and Chief Scientist).
- 300+ global experts. Offices in Austin, Atlanta, Singapore and Pune. Works with clients worldwide.
- 360+ projects delivered since 2014, 50+ AI projects running in production, client Net Promoter Score above 90, about 90% of clients keep working with thinkbridge after their first project.
- thinkOne is thinkbridge's methodology. It runs in six steps: observe how the business works today, model the right process, generate the application, validate it with users and real data, deploy it to the client's cloud and operate and improve it after go-live.
- After go-live, managed care keeps each system improving. Low-risk changes flagged from inside the app are regenerated and shipped to a beta the client approves ("self-healing").
- Pricing is outcome-based: no upfront implementation fee, payments follow the value the system delivers over an agreed term, the total costs less than off-the-shelf software once the license, consultants, retraining and workarounds are counted, and the client owns the system at the end of the term. Details: https://www.thinkbridge.com/pricing
- Security: ISO 27001 certified, and every system is built to SOC 2 standards, deployed to the client's own cloud (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) or on-premises.
- AI and data: thinkbridge follows a zero data retention policy whenever it uses AI, for its own work, on client projects and in the systems it delivers. The AI provider keeps no copy of a prompt or a response, and thinkbridge does not train or fine-tune models on client data.
