About Us

What if working with a small business meant fewer headaches – and better results?

BridgePhase was built around one simple belief: People who love where they work build better solutions.

We bring top-tier engineering talent to the Government to support the nation's most critical work. Our people are not only technically exceptional, they're energized to deliver the engineering excellence, culture, and accountability our Government deserves. We thrive on building modern, secure, resilient solutions that accelerate mission outcomes, eliminate legacy barriers, and enable Government organizations to deliver faster and adapt smarter to meet today's demands and tomorrow's mission – without compromise.

Our Story

BridgePhase was founded to prove that a people-first company can deliver better careers, better culture, and better outcomes for the missions that matter.

Two years after founding the company, Matt Stratford recruited his longtime colleague, friend and college roommate, Dan Belyea, to help fully launch what they believed the federal IT space was missing: a partner that prioritized technical excellence over headcount, trust over micromanagement, and real outcomes over empty metrics. Too many vendors were chasing scale; BridgePhase set out to build a team that focused on substance.

We started small, grew steadily, and stayed grounded in three things: great people, meaningful missions, and unwavering customer focus.

Today, we're a team of more than 120 talented humans who care deeply about their work and the missions they serve. We're proud to be a trusted partner to some of the Government's most essential programs - and we still believe the best solutions come from small, empowered teams with skin in the game.

What We Believe

At BridgePhase, our values are more than just words on paper - they provide the foundation for our identity as a company, shaping our culture with what we care about most. Our values help guide everything we do, including:
