Software-as-a-Service platform for loyalty and rewards redemption

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bridge2 Solutions, Inc., the pioneer and global leader of innovative
technology solutions for the loyalty and rewards industry, announced
today it has raised $35 million from Updata Partners.


This is the first equity financing in the ten-year history of Bridge2

verticals.

“We are thrilled to have developed a partnership with Updata for our
capital raise,” said Craig McLaughlin, CEO and founder of Bridge2
Solutions. “We wanted a financing partner that brought proven,
successful operating experience to the board room, and we have found
that and more with Updata. I am confident the addition of Updata will
help the company accelerate its expansion and will be a great add to our
team.”

disruptor in a large and expanding market,” said Carter Griffin, general
