Free to the firm.
VendorBridge introductions are not invoiced to the firm. If a vendor relationship exists, it is disclosed before details are shared.
Controlled handoff · Free for firms · Conflict-disclosed
A controlled vendor introduction, not an inbound surrender
Free, no-obligation vendor introductions — only where fit is plausible, only with conflict clarity on the table from the first sentence.
Next step: tell us the problem. We assess fit, disclose any commercial relationship, and share details with a vendor only after you approve the introduction.
A way to meet a vendor without trading a year of your inbox
Get a relevant vendor in the room without trading your contact details for a year of inbound. If fit is not plausibly established, no introduction is made.
Firms are not invoiced for the introduction. Where a vendor is a TechBridge partner, the vendor may pay TechBridge a commission only if a deal closes — and that relationship is disclosed before any detail is shared.
The firm pays nothing, ever
Transparency is the product. Here is the model in the only place it should live: openly, on the page, before the conversation.

02
Vendor-funded, only if a deal closes.
Where a vendor is a TechBridge partner, the vendor may pay TechBridge a commission only after a deal between firm and vendor closes. Until that point, there is no money in the conversation at all.
-
03
Disclosed up front.
Where a partner relationship exists, it is named in the first sentence of the introduction. Not in the small print. Not at signature. Not after the demo.
-
04
No introduction where fit is not plausible.
Plausible-fit only. If the operating model, scale, or timing does not line up, no introduction is made. Mass referrals are not the model.
A light-touch introduction is not deep vendor diligence
VendorBridge is the controlled handoff. Vetting is the second step of the Procurement Engine and runs much deeper. Different services, different depth, different funding.
- Depth Controlled introduction where fit is plausible. Full due diligence using the 10C framework — capability, contract, continuity, the rest.
- Cost to firm Free to the firm. Engagement-based, paid by the firm. Funded by the buyer, not the vendor.
- Conflict posture Partner relationships disclosed in the introduction itself. No vendor commissions. The Engine is firm-funded so the recommendation has nowhere to drift.
- When it fires The firm knows roughly what it needs and wants light-touch market context. The firm needs to defend a vendor decision to the partnership, the board, or the regulator.
- Output An email introduction. A conversation. No obligation to continue. Scored shortlist with evidence per candidate. Audit trail intact.
A real introduction with the conflict line on the table
-
01
Plausible-fit only
Introductions only when the operating model, scale, and timing actually line up. No mass referrals.
-
02
Conflict clarity, in writing
Where a partner relationship exists, it is disclosed in the introduction itself — not three steps later, not in the small print.
-
03
Lighter than Vetting
Controlled introduction here. Deeper due diligence sits inside Procurement Engine Vetting. Distinct services, different depth.
-
04
Vendor-funded, firm-protected
If a deal closes between firm and partner vendor, the vendor may pay TechBridge. The firm is not invoiced for the introduction.
