The Bridge

We meet people every week who are tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for the perfect cofounder, the perfect timing, the perfect idea. They just want to build. Those are the people who thrive at The Bridge, because they walk in with momentum, and leave with even more. If this feels like you, don’t wait. You might be one conversation away from your next chapter. Apply by December 1st (link in comments).

SF has this way of reminding you that every journey starts with a small incline. You climb a bit, breathe a bit, doubt a bit, and then suddenly the view opens up. It’s never about the hill. It’s about what you build on the way up. The Bridge - next cohort loading.

Some people rest on weekends. Others build demos. Which one are you? Munich delivered: 15 future founders, 6 demos - from drone-rescue AI to robotics for your workspace. And the best part? This video was edited by a tool Mohit Nandanwar built on the spot during the weekend. He’s shipping the final version soon. Stay tuned. 👀 If you see yourself in rooms like this, reach out to us. cc Anthropic

Quick stop in Stockholm this week - meeting founders, scouting talent, drinking way too much Glögg because it's freezing. But the real thing is in 3 weeks: The Bridge Stockholm Retreat. A house, 2 days, 15 builders, and zero excuses. Spots are open. Link to register in comments.

Stockholm, December. Some would call it “harsh conditions.” We call it “perfect founder selection pressure.” Three days of shipping with Northzone and Anthropic. A house full of builders. No sun, no excuses. Dec 12–14. Apply in comments.

We’re heading to Munich. In partnership with Anthropic and Cursor, we’re bringing together 15 builders to meet, ship, and pitch. A house. Sports. Late-night building. November 21–23. More info & link to apply in comments.

There are only three things you should look for in your first job: 1- A mentor, someone who makes you want to go to work every morning and teaches you how the world really works. 2- Exposure, connect with the ecosystem you want to enter, discover what you’re good at, and start building your reputation. 3- Access to information, the biggest unfair advantage of all. Find a job that lets you dive deep enough into a sector to know exactly what to do next, and who to talk to. Of course, I didn’t know any of this before joining Entrepreneurs First, I just got lucky and found the perfect internship. We are offering two positions at The Bridge (one internship and one full-time role). Create your own luck, apply. Antoine Matteo Matthias

The Bridge won’t build itself. What we’re doing feels obvious in hindsight. It just takes a rare team to pull it off. We’re opening two roles: 1 internship, 1 full-time. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/dZGmW4Fn

Less than 24 hours left to apply for The Bridge, an 8-week residency program in the SF Bay Area starting April 2026. If you’re looking for a co-founder and ready to build something global, now’s the time — apply before the deadline. https://lnkd.in/ey-Kq3Cq

Europe is full of small cities that quietly produce world-class talent. Delft is one of them. We came here to meet the ones who think differently, who’d rather prototype than talk. And they didn’t disappoint.
