Bridge2 Pre-Accelerator Overview

About

Bridge2 is an advanced program designed to help startups secure meaningful funding by providing essential advanced services often unavailable in other programs. This robust 16-week, two-phase program offers a combination of seminars, one-on-one expert advice, access to analytics tools, and mentoring.

Phase 1: This phase rigorously tests business plans through intensive learning and assessment. It focuses on refining product-market fit, customer acquisition and sales channels, revenue models and financial projections, team structure, governance, and more.

Phase 2: This phase further refines the startup’s business plan into a compelling executive summary and pitch deck, and prepares key diligence items in a virtual data room. It also identifies initial customer opportunities, formulates the company’s capitalization table, and clearly defines the projected use of investment funds. Additionally, there is a $50,000 pre-seed funding option for companies ready to leverage early capital towards defined milestones.

Participants will also benefit from collaboration opportunities and perks such as a one-year membership at either 36 Degrees North or The Verge OKC, access to mentor networks outside of Oklahoma, and free legal advice from partnering law firms.
