BEWARE of Bridge Technology Partners. This is embarrassing but I do not want it to happen to anyone else. So, here goes.... I signed a contract with Bridge Technology Partners to build a social media website and app over a year ago. I drove to San Diego to meet with Rob Clasby (the co-owner) in person. He seemed very genuine and honest. There were over 14 milestones with many technical terms. I went over everything with Rob, and clearly explained what I wanted. He also explained that all the work is done in the Philippines with the (co-owner) Mark Jones managing them onsite in the Philippines. I needed to pay a deposit up front and stage payments before starting each work order. The problem was that they started the next stage without completing the first. They gave me a lot of technical excuses (work not updated yet, waiting for Apple, blaming me for changes which were grammar and typo errors on their side) Whenever I complained, Rob told me that everyone releases their apps even with many big bugs because there will always be something to fix. Thankfully, I did not listen to him. I asked a friend of mine to sign up on his phone in front of me and it did not work. Needless to say, I was embarrassed and if I had released it to the public or even just to friends, they would have thought it was a joke and first impressions are very important. I would meet once a week with Rob's (project manager) Alex Titilah and he would make excuses for months about why the project hasn't been finished. The bottom line is that little is in working order and I have paid over $130,000. At this point, Bridge Technology Partners are over 8 months late from the maximum estimated time of the change order and more than 11 months from the original agreement. What I have learned since signing with Bridge Technology Partners is that there are a lot of greedy companies out there that are hiring technicians in India, Philippines, and paying them a low price and making as much profit as possible. There is very little or no regulation in this field so they can get away with charging whatever they think someone will pay. Once they get you to invest a large amount to build the app/site, they can keep on making excusing and charging because you want to see a finished product. If you don't pay, you will have wasted the money so far. It's like a bottomless pit. I take responsibility for signing the contract. Even though I was overcharged. However, I SHOULD HAVE A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT IS WORKING FOR THIS PRICE. Update 08/19/2017 I found out the Bridge Technology Partners not only has their company in San Diego but they also have other locations. As you can see my website is down TheFriendConnection.com. Bridge has stopped working on my project and they already have all my money. I'm out of business. read more

My company needed to "productize" our service. We were having trouble with customer touch points and needed to make our process more seamless and streamlined. Before our customers had to call an account manager who walked them through the service. When customers wanted to re-order they had to call their account manager each time. I met with Rob Clasby and team and we spent quite a few sessions discussing the scope of the project. They were to handle the entire back end. We met with four vendors and ended up choosing Bridge, even though they weren't the least expensive. Overall they seemed more knowledgable and definitely wanted my business. The project cost just shy of $150,000 but was WELL worth it. We now have a completely turn-key business without the need for a human to explain what we do. Customers can look up prior orders, make changes, and submit them to us. They can make payment themselves. In addition to this, Bridge was able to do API integrations with a number of various other applications we use in our business. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend them. read more

I was referred to Bridge Technology Partners by a friend that had used them in the past, as I tried out a couple local companies and was left less than impressed. My coordinator really listened to what I wanted and made sure they understood the issues I had been experiencing with previous companies. I felt like I was truly heard, I received quick responses and on-time completion. I could not be happier with the outcome and I will definitely be working with them again in the future! Thank you Bridge Technology Partners! read more

As a major investor and business partner in The Friend Connection I want to share my experience with Bridge Technology Partners. I accompanied the CEO to the first meeting with Bridge Technology Partners. When we met with Rob Clasby in person and the co-owner Mark Jones Via video chat they seemed to be very legitimate business people. When we started dealing with them they also seemed to know what they were talking about. After months we started to see that they were constantly delaying us and asking for more payments as well. While the website and apps were full of bugs to the extent that major features were not working with the website and the apps would just crash most of the time (so nothing at all could be used with them). They blamed be for not releasing the app and starting to collect information. How can you collect information on an app the crashed after you open it for a couple seconds? How can you collect information on a website that has major features not working? Foolishly the CEO and I gave them all the payments because they said this was part of the process and that the bugs would be fixed. Also, if I did not pay them they would stop work immediately. Now it's been close to 2 years later and the work was never finished. Watch out for their deceptive business practices. I found that we were only a dollar sign to them and they did not care about our project as good as there were at faking it. I have noticed all of a sudden that they have several five star reviews. I have my doubts about them. As you can see at the bottom of the page yelp has flagged several of their reviews. read more
