About Third Bridge

Third Bridge is a global investment research firm that connects investors and business leaders with industry experts. Founded in 2007, it helps clients make informed decisions through on-demand expert consultations and real-time intelligence.

In addition to its expert network, the firm offers specialized research and content solutions. With a worldwide presence, Third Bridge provides nuanced perspectives for private equity, hedge funds, and corporate clients navigating complex markets.

Third Bridge and Superblocks

To maintain quality, compliance, and effective oversight, Third Bridge relies on a suite of comprehensive internal admin tools integral to nearly every aspect of its business. Before adopting Superblocks, many of these tools operated in silos, used incompatible legacy technologies, and required significant senior engineering resources to maintain.

In 2022, Third Bridge sought a cost-effective solution to modernize its internal tooling and ultimately chose Superblocks as its partner. Since then, the company has successfully migrated its internal library of advisory calls onto the platform, enabling major improvements to a critical but frequently outdated dashboard at the heart of its operations. Since then, Superblocks has become increasingly prevalent at Third Bridge, as it offers a number of key advantages to their senior engineers and software architects as they look to modernize their internal tooling: 

  • Strong Toolkit for Customization: Superblocks gives Third Bridge's engineers the flexibility to tailor applications to specific design and technical requirements with custom components and Code Mode.
  • Secure Architecture: The Superblocks On-Premise Agent (OPA) architecture provides Third Bridge with full data ownership while minimizing required overhead.
  • Seamless Integration: Superblocks connects effortlessly with internal APIs, third-party SaaS platforms, AWS, and existing authentication systems.
  • Strong Partnership: Superblocks’ skilled support team coupled with their product roadmap aligned closely with Third Bridge’s goals for speed, flexibility, security, and standardization.
  • Rapid AI Enablement: With several built-in models available and governance baked into the product, Third Bridge is able to rapidly integrate AI into existing workflows without worrying about security risks.

With their first major project under their belt, the Third Bridge team has many exciting projects on the horizon, and we're excited to continue supporting them as they reach new heights!

"Those tools are great for proof of concept. But they don't connect well to existing enterprise data sources, and they don't have the governance guardrails that IT requires for production use."
