Starting conversations is hard.
Following up is harder.

Austin Nadin
Founder & CEO

Starting conversations has never come naturally to Austin. Holding one was never the problem, but approaching a stranger cold and finding something to say was terrifying. He noticed others doing the same thing at networking events: hovering on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to make the first move.

It had real consequences. Austin bounced around in his career early on, struggling to build the connections that actually open doors. Once he understood how much networking shapes where you end up, he stopped waiting and built something to fix it. Austin created Bridge Badge to make networking as simple as pressing a button. No cold approaches, no awkward silences, no hoping someone walks over. When Bridge Badge is used at an event, everyone is engaged and no one is left standing on the sidelines.
