About
Skillbridge is a digital platform connecting job seekers with skilled professionals, enabling efficient collaboration for projects that require specialized expertise across various industries. Founded in 2013 in New York, US, Skillbridge specializes in matching companies with finance experts. The company was acquired by Toptal in April 2016 from Highland Capital Partners and Dorm Room Fund for an undisclosed amount, allowing Toptal to enhance its product offerings. Colin Mandell is the founder of Skillbridge, who had previously led other ventures.
Skillbridge operates as a premier marketplace for top-tier finance experts, specializing in financial services such as financial modeling and valuation, interim CFO roles, startup funding support, pricing strategies, and market sizing. The platform facilitates connections between companies and freelance finance professionals who address critical financial challenges across various sectors, including Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations. Skillbridge's services are accessible to a global clientele, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia, offering flexible, on-demand access to skilled finance talent. Skillbridge generates revenue through a model that allows companies to hire finance experts on an hourly, part-time, or full-time basis, along with project management options via Managed Delivery.
The firm operates on a transaction structure, ensuring satisfaction with a no-risk trial period before billing. Revenue is derived from direct client engagements, including contracts and partnerships tailored to project size and complexity, emphasizing a streamlined hiring process. Following the acquisition by Toptal in April 2016, Skillbridge plans to scale its product offerings and expand its talent network. The funding from this acquisition will be utilized to develop new products and services, though specific release dates have not been disclosed.
Skillbridge aims to expand into additional markets, enhancing its reach and capabilities in the financial services sector.
