How NorthBridge AI works
A safer way to hire AI agencies: verified partners, milestone-based projects, and escrow-protected payments from start to finish.
Find your agency
Browse the marketplace of verified AI agencies and filter by expertise, budget, and team size. Each profile shows technical capabilities, compliance status, past work, and client references — so you shortlist on evidence, not marketing claims.
Define your project
Post your project and receive proposals from matching agencies. Agree scope, deliverables, and milestones in a signed Statement of Work before any money moves. Built-in approval workflows support Manager, Director, and Finance sign-off for enterprise teams.
Fund milestones via escrow
You fund the project into escrow. NorthBridge holds the money securely and releases each milestone payment only when you approve the corresponding deliverable. No results, no payment.
Approve, or resolve
Approve each milestone to release funds and keep the project moving. If something goes wrong, an independent, neutral mediator is available for every project to resolve disputes fairly.
Common questions
Does it cost anything to post a project?
Posting a project and receiving proposals is free. You only fund a project once you have agreed a Statement of Work with an agency, and money is held in escrow until you approve milestones.
What happens if the agency doesn't deliver?
Because payments are milestone-based and held in escrow, funds are only released when you approve the work. If there is a dispute, an independent neutral mediator reviews the project and helps reach a fair resolution.
