How we work

A model structurally aligned with your success. No upfront fees, no quota, no hidden margin. You pay only when the contract is signed — which is why demand for each exclusive position consistently exceeds supply.

1
Qualify

We identify and qualify C-level opportunities — architectural diagnostic, budget, timeline, named decision-makers. You receive a structured Opportunity Brief, not a list of leads.

2
Introduce

We make the direct introduction between the vendor and the CISO or CIO — by name, by personal relationship. Your team walks in introduced and expected — no cold outreach, no unsolicited pitch.

3
Co-sell

We co-present in French, provide local regulatory context, and support through closing. Commission on success only — 10–15% of contract value. Zero if no deal closes.

BCF Architecture — vendor exclusivity status

7 categories. 1 exclusive position each.
Is yours still available?

One active vendor per category — no competitor can enter the same layer simultaneously. The position is exclusive as long as the vendor meets client expectations and Bridgehead's independent evaluations.

The signal no one was reading

Africa has the demand.
Challengers have the supply.
Nobody was connecting them.

Decision-makers in Francophone Africa have mandates, budgets, and no adapted solution. The entry window for challenger vendors is open — and it is closing. That is exactly where BridgeHead Cyber Africa operates.
