About Six Bridges Advisors
The Story Behind The Brand
The covered bridge serves as the logo for Six Bridges Advisors because our aspirations and beliefs align with these iconic structures. The covered bridge played a critical role in accelerating the establishment and growth of America’s rural communities in the 19th century. At Six Bridges, our passion is ensuring that novel interventions find their way across the landscape of the American health system.
The characteristics of a covered bridge align with our vision to serve our clients.
First
The covered bridge, with its timber truss design, served as an important advance in engineering as the design is able to efficiently distribute the weight burden across the bridge’s structure, which was important in the late 19th century given the need to migrate livestock, goods, and machinery. Our clients expect Six Bridges to distribute the burden associated with the launch of novel technology by bringing seasoned advisors to work alongside your leadership team. And, similar to those 19th century travelers who found their way to a covered bridge to take cover from a storm, we seek to be that place and the people entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs turn to in the midst of the storm.
Next
The covering provided protection for the bridge’s timber structure, helping to ensure the bridge would remain functional for decades, Similarly, our work at Six Bridges aims to create, protect, and leverage the client’s assets, including technology, portfolio, partners, brand, and people. The goal is to appropriately and aggressively accelerate adoption of important technology in targeted healthcare markets while also protecting and building upon strategic assets.
Finally
The covered bridge also served to focus livestock when crossing bodies of water, which ensured that the livestock wouldn’t become distracted and compromise the safety of the individuals moving the livestock or the integrity of the bridge. Similarly, our work at Six Bridges brings focus to the disciplines and competencies required to drive value for healthcare’s diverse mix of stakeholders, equipping your organization to further penetrate existing markets and secure new and adjacent markets for your brand(s).
