bridge funding
Temporary capital infusion
Bridge funding is short-term financing that covers a gap until more permanent funding is secured.
Startups use bridge funding to sustain operations between investment rounds: We need bridge funding to keep the lights on until Series B closes.
The term appears in real estate, nonprofits, and any context where interim capital buys time.
