Bridge Fund (investment fund)

A Bridge Fund is a type of investment fund that provides temporary financing to companies or projects that need immediate capital while waiting for more substantial funding sources, like venture capital or loans. It helps businesses maintain operations or seize opportunities without delays. Typically, the fund's investment is short-term, covering a few months to a couple of years, and serves as a "bridge" until more permanent financing is secured. Investors in Bridge Funds usually seek higher returns due to the associated risks, as these investments can be less stable than traditional long-term investments.
