“I cannot say enough good things about the experience working with Howbridge. The value of our partnership goes well beyond tactical elements.
I liked the way they became a strategic partner for InCarda – as a startup, we needed a more integrated, comprehensive approach. I’ve already recommended Howbridge to several people, and the team is currently working with many of my parent companies.”
