Reserve Your Spot: 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 Insights Report, a survey of 80+ accelerator leaders across eight countries, the inaugural Building Bridges Global 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 reception — relationships start over the table, not the stage.
A full day of facilitated peer discussions on the challenges every ecosystem shares
Each ecosystem showcases their program to Silicon Valley executives, investors and expert mentors
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.
