Today we’re talking about “bridge” rounds.
Regardless of your situation, don’t use the phrase “bridge round” it just sounds terrible. Instead you can use terms like: seed extension, seed+ or post-seed.
Most startups will take 18 months to 3 years to reach repeatable revenue or user engagement and graduate from the seed stage. Given that wide range, it’s no surprise many companies will raise multiple times during their seed stage. This is normal, so there’s no need to label your round as if you missed some important deadline.
