BCG2024Europe
Temporary financing between larger funding rounds, most commonly using convertible instruments.
Why it matters
Buys time until the next proper round, when cash runs out faster than results grow.
What's missing without it
Without it, a company with strong potential may simply run out of cash at the worst possible moment.
When it is used
When 6–12 months of funding remain, but the next round is not yet ready.
How we use it
A $1 million convertible loan with a 20% discount relative to the next round.
Fun fact
Bridge rounds come in two types: bridges to something and bridges to nowhere. Investors distinguish them with one question — have results changed since the last round?
