Join the WaitlistCambridge is one of the smartest places on earth. But it can be quiet. A place where "AI" was once a dirty word and investors ask you to be "realistic."
Silicon Valley is the opposite. An ecosystem where "impossible" is just a Tuesday.
Bridge Fellows exists because absorbing one week of Silicon Valley's atmosphere can change your entire trajectory. We're not here to tell you to move—we're here to show you how the world's best founders think and scale, so you can bring that same energy back to whatever you're building.
After that, where you build is your call. But you'll never look at your bedroom project the same way again.
Seven days of intense immersion in Silicon Valley — designed to compress years of learning into one transformative experience.
You don't need a company yet. You need the drive to build one.
Nothing. The program is fully sponsored. Flights, accommodation, food, and all events are covered. You just show up and bring your ambition.
No. You can be working on a side project, a research spin-out, or an idea you're serious about. We care about what you're building and your drive, not whether you've incorporated.
No. We give you a taste of Silicon Valley so you can experience the ecosystem first-hand. Where you build your company after that is entirely your decision. Cambridge, San Francisco, London — your call.
Yes. You can apply solo or with your co-founder(s). Just fill out one application and mention your team.
On a rolling basis. We read every application as it comes in. Early applicants may hear back sooner. We select up to 10 founders per cohort.
A mix of office hours with unicorn founders, company visits to leading startups and VC firms, pitch practice sessions, networking dinners, and a demo day. Every day is designed to be intense, but exceptional.
You join the Bridge Fellows alumni network — a lifelong community of ambitious Cambridge founders. We continue with introductions, quarterly check-ins, and ongoing support. The network is the long-term value.
No equity is required to participate. The program is free with no strings attached.
