533<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bridge is a Victoria-based startup whose AI-driven platform, Bridge Impact AI, offers tools for organizations and individuals to measure and implement Indigenous reconciliation practices, as well as fund youth-led community projects and learn about Indigenous culture and history.&nbsp;</p>
534
535
536
537<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Founded by Laurel Anne Stark and led by a group of Indigenous advisors, Bridge launched the beta version of its app at Victoria Tech Week.&nbsp;</p>
538
539
540
541<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It’s basically an application that turns intention into action,” Stark said. “Over 80 percent of Canadians want to be involved in reconciliation. We all know a lot of information, but the next steps aren’t always clear.”&nbsp;</p>
542
543
544
545<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bridge’s platform connects individual users with measurable actions they can take,&nbsp; like philanthropic giving or personal education, while providing individualized “reconciliation plans” to give structure to the process. There is also an organizational tier to the app that can run an assessment on the organization&#8217;s reconciliation plans and develop implementation action plans going forward.</p>
546
547
548
549<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Right now, organizations are pretty much just self-reporting,” Stark said. “With Bridge for organizations, one of the benefits is we provide third-party verification of actions being taken.”&nbsp;</p>
550
551
552
553<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Evolving need</h3>
554
555
556
557<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stark, who is not Indigenous herself, grew Bridge out of Remarkable Communications, a startup she founded in 2019. Remarkable Communications is a communications and tech f
557irm that serves indigenous communities and organizations, supporting initiatives around reconciliation, language, and cultural preservation, as well as community engagement. Among the initiatives borne from that company is the Remarkable Gives Foundation, which provides weekly micro-grants of $150 to Indigenous youth in arts and athletics.&nbsp;</p>
558
559
560
561<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stark said that program exceeded her company’s ability to sustain it, with over 30 applications coming in each week. That eventually led her to partner with Victoria’s tech community to develop Bridge, which began as a philanthropic giving portal before evolving into the reconciliation resource unveiled earlier this month.&nbsp;</p>
562
563
564
565<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“That was the impetus behind building it as a web app,” she said. “That way people didn’t have to go through me, but could fund the kids directly.”&nbsp;</p>
566
567
568
569<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Indigenous data</h3>
570
571
572
573<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bridge’s platform is currently acting as a business rather than a non-profit, but noted that it is in the <a href="https://bridgeimpact.ai/faqs-reconciliation-technology-bridge-impact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="">process of applying</a> and navigating the complex regulatory hurdles needed to gain non-profit status. Instead, Bridge takes 15 percent of the donations received and uses them to sustain the business&#8217; operations. Stark said the company also sources revenue through its organizational tier, which is a paid service. </p>
574
575
576
577<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re still in beta right now, so we’re looking for organizational partners to co-develop the tech with,” Stark said. “The basics are there, it functions, but it’s better to co-create something with customers than build something that may potentially not work for them.”</p>
578
579
580
581<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stark has some partners already. In developing the app, she brought on a board of <a href="https://remarkablecommunications.com/board-of-advisors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="">Indigenous advisors</a> that includes a hereditary chief from the Lyackson First Nation, a filmmaker and language holder, and a co-founder of the W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Council. That board has been instrumental in developing Bridge’s AI advisory function, which Stark said is trained on datasets around Indigenous knowledge provided by the board and its network. </p>

586
587
588
589<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>BetaKit</em> reached out to members of the advisory board, but its members were unavailable to speak with us by press time.&nbsp;</p>
590
591
592
593<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The intention behind this is to build a data set that is built from the Indigenous worldview, based on Indigenous knowledge … because the majority of AI, like Claude or Gemini, they pull from colonial data sets that have bias built in,” Stark said.</p>
594
595
596
597<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because those data sets vary from nation to nation and region to region, Stark said Bridge’s AI is still quite limited, and primarily focused on BC-based First Nations and Indigenous groups, pulling from the <a href="https://www.ubcic.bc.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="">BC Union of Indian Chiefs</a>’ <a href="https://futureofgood.co/b-c-first-nations-launch-new-standards-for-organizational-reconciliation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="">benchmarks for reconciliation</a>. </p>
598
599
600
601<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re pretty focused on BC; This is where our roots are,” Stark said. “There’s certainly a risk of painting all Indigenous communities with one brush, but when it comes to reconciliation principles and fundamentals, they’re quite similar across the majority of communities … so those are pretty clearly outlined.”&nbsp;</p>
602
603
604
605<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Looking toward the future</h3>
606
607
608
609<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While still in its earliest stages, Stark said she and the advisory board have high hopes for Bridge, both in terms of its reach and impact. Stark said she hopes the platform can help change the corporate culture around reconciliation, tying progress to something more concrete than platitudes.&nbsp;</p>
610
611
612
613<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I would like to see organizations with action plans that are tied to milestones and show progress. Right now, only a small percentage of companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange actually have reconciliation action plans, and most are just kind of brochures and good intentions,” Stark said.&nbsp;</p>
614
615
616
617<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’d also like to see adoption throughout Canada, and then likely we’ll be expanding into Australia, because they do have a lot of momentum in their reconciliation area as well,” she added. “We’re going down there for reconciliation week in spring of 2027.”&nbsp;</p>
