Tech companies arrive knowing what they need: AUKUS engagement, ITAR exemption awareness, FOCI introductions, sponsored procurement. Pre-scoped buyers, routed to you on topic expertise — not cold outreach.
Tech Companies browse by topic specialty (AUKUS, defense policy, technology policy, international trade, tribal affairs, appropriations, authorization). The matching engine routes by topic fit, not popularity rank.
Every engagement opens with the tech company's profile, target appropriations item or program, and the policy ask they want help shaping. You scope against actual context — not a 30-min discovery call.
See aggregate (banded) demand for your topic specialty across the tech company base. Decide where to invest your editorial brief output for the next quarter.
Two of the six Bridger Officers shape your inbox: the briefing officer drafts the substance, the intelligence officer surfaces the timing. You decide what publishes.
Drafts policy briefings, audience tags, and publication-timing recommendations from the markup cycle and committee calendar.
Briefs you at 6 AM ET — committee markups, agency actions, appropriations shifts matched against the topics you cover.
How being on the Bridger lobbyist marketplace works in practice. The mock previews on the right are real platform surfaces.
Verify your LDA-2024 registration, list your topic specialties, declare any client conflicts, complete OFAC + Entity List screening. Admin review within 5 business days. Decline rate is real — we vet for credibility on the topics you claim.
Your profile is what tech companies see when browsing the directory. Specialty selection (max 3 active), capacity status (open / selective / closed), engagement modes (advisory / direct lobbying / coalition work), law-firm affiliation if any.
When a tech company wants advocacy on a specific bill, markup, or policy ask, the platform routes it to lobbyists matching the topic. The request carries the appropriations item, the target outcome, and the timeline.
The workspace logs each meeting taken, position paper drafted, hill conversation, markup attended. The tech company's mirror view shows real-time progress without you sending status emails — good for them, good for the LDA disclosure.
On engagement completion (or on each milestone for retainer engagements), the tech company releases payment through the platform. Stripe Connect handles the payout. Bridger retains 15% as the facilitation commission; your 85% lands in 1-2 business days.
No subscription, no listing fee, no per-lead charge. Bridger earns when you earn.

Demand. Lobbyist engagements have larger average deal sizes, longer engagement cycles, and stricter routing (LDA registration verification, client-conflict screening, topic-coverage match). 15% reflects the pricing the lobbyist marketplace will bear; provider engagements are higher-volume / smaller-ticket and clear at 10%. The split is set at /pricing and unchanged once you list.
