Bridge Investments

Bridge Venture Fund is a Chicago-based, seed-stage venture capital firm investing in software and consumer businesses in overlooked categories underserved by innovation. Where traditional VCs invest to create categories, Bridge invests in established categories where innovation is lagging. Its investments span B2B SaaS, marketplaces and consumer brands across legaltech, ecommerce enablement, restaurant and retail, event tech and home goods. Portfolio companies include ConverseNow, Trajektory, haku, Casetext, Simple Mills, Caraway, Priori Legal, LegalMation and Mahalo. Bridge uses a "Show, Don't Tell" analytical approach to diligence, and adds value after investing by drawing on its backgrounds in M&A advisory and later-stage investing to help portfolio companies prepare for subsequent rounds of capital. It prioritizes revenue quality and sustainable unit economics.
