Bridge Funding Global

Transforming the VC landscape

Putting more capital in the hands of diverse emerging managers yields:

Diverse-led funds outperform funds by an average of 50 basis points.
Funds with diverse Partners demonstrate a 1.5% higher annual fund return.

Diverse VCs Invest in up to 2x more underrepresented Founders.

A company with a diverse founder and executive will hire 6x a diverse team.

Our goal is to scale and amplify this cycle to ultimately change the look of the room.

The Bridge in numbers

Leveraging proprietary matching technology, we achieved the following:

20 Matching programs 20 flagship conferences and matching dinners
3,000+ LPs & GPs Community
Over 54 LP commitments through our LP/GP matching program
1:1 LP/GP 1:1 LP/GP ratio at all the events

What an incredible community! Loved last week's deep dive with sophisticated active investors and some of the most differentiated, daring GPs I’ve ever met. Kudos to Emna Ghariani and Sophia Platt plus Amin and Amina on their amazing team for a tour de force!

My first time at the Bridge Funding Global event and hands down the best gathering and programming for #emergingmanagers. Much respect for the team for addressing a real gap and building this community from the ground up.

The Bridge provides an energized, interactive, friendly, and informative venture capital discovery and matching forum for us, as a multifamily office, to find and communicate with well curated female led VC firms—powerful women with powerful mandates. I feel fortunate to be part of The Bridge family.

A disruptive force in venture, innovation in underinvested areas, the future of venture, closest to the next generation of operators … lots of love for emerging managers from this stellar panel at Bridge Funding Global!

I am thrilled and honoured to be part of this wonderful community. Sophia and Emna have built something very special. This is such important work, and their leadership is terrific and much appreciated.

Bridge curates a community of strong GPs and LPs who are actively deploying in emerging and diverse-led funds. It's an intentional, energizing, and truly talented community!

We're so appreciative of the valuable connections we've received through the Bridge Funding Global community. These curated LP and GP events help to open doors for emerging managers and gender and diversity lens funds.
