I work rotating shifts as a Healthcare Assistant in the NHS, UK. Every day, I see the same thing: people with incredible skills who can't access what they need because of one barrier — money.
A nurse who spent 12 hours saving lives can't afford a lawyer to review her tenancy agreement. A lawyer billing £300/hour can't get his car repaired because the garage is booked for weeks and he can't find a mechanic. A chef who feeds 200 people a night needs a website — but quotes start at £5,000 she doesn't have. A developer earning six figures needs healthcare advice — but private physio costs £150 a session.
The skills exist. The people exist. The exchange never happens.
I see nurses who can't afford lawyers. Lawyers who can't get physio. Chefs who need tech help. Developers who need healthcare advice. Between every two people is a perfect exchange waiting to happen — and no platform to make it happen.
I built SkillBridge because I've lived this. Not as a VC-backed founder in a WeWork. As a healthcare worker on the ward floor, watching people struggle not because they lack ability, but because money is the only accepted currency.
