A bridge round is interim financing between two priced rounds. Typically structured as convertible notes or SAFEs. GitDealFlow's engineering momentum data provides the objective signal layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do startups need bridge rounds?
When they need 6-12 more months to hit milestones for the next priced round. GitDealFlow detects bridge-round preparation: engineering velocity often spikes as teams ship hard to meet milestones.
Are bridge rounds bad?
Not inherently. Many great companies used bridge rounds. They're a signal that the company needs more time, not that it's failing.
