Inaugural Building Bridges Global Summit
Where the world's accelerators build bridges.
By invitation · San Francisco.
The world's startup ecosystems are going global — but founders don't just need funding. They need bridges.
Drawing on the Building Bridges Accelerator Report, published by Disruption Magazine — a survey of 71 accelerator leaders across 8 countries — the inaugural Building Bridges Summit convenes a small, deliberate room of accelerator leaders, global investors, university program directors, and government innovation teams to turn those findings into real cross-border collaboration.
A high-touch, invitation-only day in San Francisco:
• Private welcome dinner — relationships start over the table, not the stage
• A full day of facilitated peer discussions on the challenges every ecosystem shares
• Showcase & Connect sessions with Silicon Valley mentors and investors
• A curated networking reception built on warm introductions
This is the founding gathering of what becomes an annual convening of the people building the world's startup bridges.
In town for TechCrunch Disrupt, Oct 13–15? Stay one more day — this is the room worth extending for.
