In the world of pre IPOs and start-up venture capital, the small investor rarely has an opportunity to participate in either one. These investments are usually reserved for the preferred clients of the underwriting firm or be invited to participate because of their “accredited” status i.e. have high net worth. Today, we introduce you to Bridge – Global Investment Network. The smaller investors now have an avenue to be able to invest in start-up companies that are about to go public, or provide seed money to new companies with ground breaking products and services.

Bridge Group International Ltd., was founded in 2004, incorporated in Belize, headquartered in the financial district of Panama, and formed with the vision of creating a global community of investors. Bridge is an international investment club that gives its members the opportunity to invest in growth companies through ownership of shares or stocks before they are publicly traded on the stock-markets.
