SkillBridge is a digital platform designed to connect freelance workers, especially those in the Brazilian and Hispanic communities in the United States, with local clients seeking reliable, affordable, and high-quality services.

Our purpose is to professionalize informal work by providing tools that highlight the experience of service providers and simplify the client’s journey. These tools include an in-app chat with automatic translation, financial management features, peer reviews, and an intuitive interface designed for everyone.

We believe in the power of immigrant labor and in technology as a bridge to fairer, more organized, and secure opportunities.

What are the benefits of SkillBridge?

  1. Connect with verified clients: access real opportunities from trusted people and companies.
  2. Track your payments in one place: see what’s pending, what’s paid, and what’s coming next. All in your control.
  3. Protect your time with fair rules: our system prevents last-minute cancellations and non-comparisons so as not to harm your schedule.

Who is Skillbridge for?

SkillBridge exists to create a safe and efficient ecosystem for both service providers—especially immigrants—and clients. Our goal is to promote work opportunities, economic inclusion, and trusted professional relationships.

Service provider

SkillBridge is the ideal platform for immigrants living in the U.S., especially for service providers from Latin America. We understand the challenges of starting a new life in the US and needing a reliable way to scale your services. 

Our platform was created to be the bridge between your talent and the opportunities you’re looking for. If you have difficulty with English or don’t have a solid network of contacts, SkillBridge offers the necessary tools to expand your services, find clients, and gain more stability and security.
