Bridge Venture Fund

Bridge is a Chicago-based, seed-stage venture capital firm investing in software and consumer businesses in overlooked categories underserved by innovation. While traditional VCs invest to create categories, we invest in established categories where innovation is lagging. Our investments span B2B SaaS and marketplaces as well as consumer brands across verticals such as legaltech, ecommerce enablement, restaurant and retail, event tech, and home goods. We utilize a "Show, Don't Tell" analytical approach to diligence and add value post-investment by leveraging our backgrounds in M&A advisory and later stage investing to help our portfolio companies prepare to raise subsequent rounds of capital.
