Bridges are more than structures – they are symbols of progress, pushing the boundary to move us forward.

Like bridges, we believe in pushing boundaries. Chainbridge Solutions is an award winning, woman-owned small business passionate about people and their safety. We’re committed to nurturing imagination, taking calculated risks, and connecting people to possibilities.

Our Mission

Behind every mission is a person, and our work is about people. At Chainbridge Solutions, our mission centers on helping the government work smarter to ensure the protection and well-being of individuals and organizations.

Our History

Chainbridge Solutions embodies a profound commitment to helping people, rooted in our founder’s deeply personal journey. Our organization was formed in 2010 by Aarti Smith, a Virginia Tech graduate deeply affected by the tragic events of April 16, 2007. Driven by the desire to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future, Aarti founded Chainbridge Solutions with people in mind.

Over the past decade, we expanded this dedication and purpose for security into other areas of the federal government that too are impacted by human vulnerabilities
and risk, growing into who we are today – an application transformation company
specializing in solutions for workforce security, workplace modernization and
workflow automation.

“In every aspect of our business, we are working to push the envelope. The way we hire, the solutions we deliver, the technology we use, the culture we create.”

We have formed meaningful partnerships to grow our impact – advocating for initiatives that move our mission, industry, and communities forward.

Across industry, we’ve partnered with CGI, participating in the All Small Business Mentor-Protégé Program. We are also actively involved in the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Intelligence Council at Intelligence and National Security Alliance. Additional organizations we support are Women in Technology, Girls in Technology, and STEM for Her – supporting through mentorship and advocacy to empower the growth of women in technical fields and advocate for gender equality.

Locally, our team works with Fairfax County Public Schools’ Secondary Transition to Employment Program (STEP).

We also engage in initiatives across our communities, such as volunteering for the Northern Virginia Family Service organization, participating in fundraising activities, and sponsoring families and children.
