We Make Communities Productive.

HeroBridge connects communities to their resources and each other, enabling relationship, sustainability and productivity.

 

HeroBridge is an app based platform that synergizes the life of communities, and their individual members, using a wide range of engagement tools that seamlessly deliver deeper relationship, learning and better outcomes. HeroBridge’s technology and data augments the reality of real world communities using 24/7 access to media rich resources, learning tracks, and mentored support for data verified progress on outcomes.

HeroBridge is a subscription enterprise platform - a gateway to your own private and informed digital community that entertains, inspires, motivates, enriches and enables transformative change of individuals and groups.

For over a decade, we’ve organized communities around their resources and each other like no other technology available, with the data to prove it.

IN COLLABORATION WITH MIT MEDIA LAB!

Since 2022 HeroBridge, Stepping Forward LA and MIT Media Lab have been on a first of its kind collaboration to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve our affective behavior capabilities. (eg. predictably better wellbeing and outcomes!) We’ve launched our collaboration via HeroBridge’s flagship community Stepping Forward for former foster youth. This collaboration included the funding of more incredible interns - many of whom earned their first paycheck developing their own digital web3 community - and have the pride of saying they work with the finest tech media lab in the world.

We proudly announce that exciting data and results of our multi-year collaboration were highlighted at the MIT MEDIA LABS -FOSTERING FUTURES FORUM 2024: Harnessing Technology for Wellbeing! Evidence of lives touched through frictionless connection to resources and relationship!

Secure and private, a Hero Bridge community is removed from the noise and distraction of the commercial social media world,  and provides users with an environment of high quality content that inspires and engages.

Built for the Way the World Communicates

We don’t use media to replace community interaction, but to enhance it. There are great stories to be told that inspire and activate. The rise of Social Impact Entertainment can make real change when connected to activation!

Our Beginnings: Tech for At-Risk Communities

Launched on Google Play and the Apple Store as an app during COVID, our Los Angeles pilot partnered with foster mentor CBO Stepping Forward and over the next two years proved Tech for Good can deliver on its promise of genuine positive impact. For many former foster, Hero Bridge’s Stepping Forward app was their only lifeline to a community of support and compassion. With 24/7 curated media, moderated groups, learning tracks, mentor toolkits and a metaverse of geo-coordinated engagement to resources - no one in our community is ever alone again -ever.

 
 
The Future of Giving Is Impact Return on Investment

Sustainable

Our overarching goal will always be to create tools that produce better outcomes by supporting communities of all kinds through mentorship and connectivity to resources and each other. Our sustainability plan is based on corporate social responsibility (CSR) metrics that spin a flywheel of better outcomes through effective mentorship.

Companies will find HeroBridge an ecosystem that produces efficiency, loyalty and purpose for their organizations. For nonprofits, through the HeroBridge Foundation, our goal will always be to provide our technology to nonprofit organizations for free - forever.

Our clients are not just users of our technology, but stakeholders in a private, secure community of impact data that continually improves results for better outcomes and predictive models. These valuable findings provide HeroBridge with the ability to track impact in real time with complete open accountability.

  • "I wish I had this community when I came out of foster, but now I get to be part of it so that others may."

  • "Greg Boyle is right - none of us are whole until we are all whole. The way HeroBridge serves the margins is to use technology to eliminate the margins."

    Frank Connelly, Founder HeroBridge

  • "The true crisis today is relationship poverty. Hero Bridge uses technology as a trusted messager to help empower youth to access resources and relationship support."

“Having a place where you feel like you belong is really amazing. There isn’t a lot out there, and this app would have been so useful when I was aging-out of the system.”
