Bridge2 Info Session
Come learn more about our upcoming Bridge2 Pre-Accelerator!
Bridge2 is an effective space to refine the tools for a successful Accelerator application or Seed Funding Presentation. This 16-week program is divided into two parts. Participants may be eligible to receive a $50,000 convertible note during Phase 2, allowing founders to focus on building the foundation of a successful high-growth business.
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 + 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.
The Spring 2025 cohort is set to run January through May 2025
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.
Bridge2 is supported by both the Oklahoma Commercialization Network, powered by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST), and the Greater OKC Chamber.
