Bridge Round
Definition
A smaller, interim raise that gives a company enough cash to reach its next major funding round or milestone.
Why it matters
A bridge round can keep you alive when you are close to a goal but running low on cash, though it can signal trouble if used too often.
Example
A founder raises a £500k bridge round to extend her runway until a planned Series A.
