Bridgeco

BridgeCo Inc. was a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2000 that built networked-audio silicon and software for consumer electronics. Its JukeBlox platform — a system-on-a-chip paired with a software development kit — let wireless speakers, A/V receivers, home-theater systems and docking stations stream music from tablets, smartphones and PCs, and was designed into products from Pioneer, Philips, Denon, Marantz, JBL and Harman/Kardon. Earlybird Venture Capital was the company's first institutional investor in 2000. BridgeCo was acquired by Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) on 19 May 2011 in a deal worth up to $67.5 million, and SMSC was in turn acquired by Microchip Technology on 2 August 2012, where the JukeBlox wireless-audio line was folded into Microchip's portfolio. BridgeCo no longer operates as an independent company and publishes no developer portal, documentation or public API; the bridgeco.com domain today is an unrelated domain-for-sale parking page.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Bridgeco is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Bridgeco scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type

Bridgeco is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
