Celebrating 20 Years

Marking Affinity Bridge’s 20 year anniversary is less of a celebration of us and more of a thank you to everyone who’s been part of our journey. Through two decades of navigating a world where technology has transformed at an unprecedented pace, our shared commitment remains the same: to create a more equitable and sustainable world.

When we started back in 2005, we were a scrappy team of developers building technical solutions. The internet was moving from dial-up to broadband, desktops were still central to homes, and PDAs were all the rage (iykyk). Then smartphones and apps came along, and it was clear just how powerful digital could be for amplifying our clients’ voices and making a difference. So we expanded our services, offering strategy, user experience, and design to deepen our collaboration with purpose-driven organizations. 

 

And now, in this era of AI and rapid innovation, we are fully embracing the opportunities it offers, while our principles remain at the heart of everything we do:

  • Collaboration: From day one, we've loved working with organizations that share our values in support of democracy and advancing social justice.
  • Open Source: We're still strong advocates for open-source solutions like WordPress and Drupal, built on the principles of collaboration and community.
  • Ethics: As AI becomes more integrated into our work, we’re committed to making responsible choices. Technology should serve people, not replace them, and ethics must guide every decision.
  • Values: Being a B Corporation means we have codified our commitment to high standards of purpose, accountability and transparency. United by the mission to use business as a force for good, we are privileged to be in the company of thousands of other organizations in over 100 countries that are equally committed to creating positive social impact.

As we look back on twenty years, we’re deeply grateful to all the people who have made this work possible - our talented teammates whose passion drives us forward, clients who’ve entrusted us with their visions and voices, and a community that’s supported us along the way. This milestone is ours, but it’s also yours.

 

Here’s to what comes next, and creating it together.
