About us
Building bridges between university startups and investors.
Atlantic Bridge Connect is a global platform that gives university-founded startups direct access to investors, mentorship and commercialisation resources.
Our mission
Make sure the next generation of deep-tech, AI, biotech and impact startups gets the funding it deserves.
Universities are producing some of the most important ideas of our time. Too many of them never reach the people who could fund and scale them, simply because the networks are not there.
We solve that by connecting founders with a curated network of investors, mentors and accelerators, and by making sure the right introductions happen at the right time.
What guides us
University-first
Every founder we work with has a verified link to a university, so investors see research-backed ventures.
Transatlantic by design
We connect founders and investors across Europe and North America, and share the networks that get companies across borders.
Credible and transparent
Verification, clear matching criteria and honest introductions. We would rather make fewer, better connections.
