What is bridge financing?

Q: How many Bridge lenders are there?

The Agentas database tracks 174 active funds with a Bridge mandate as of Oct 12, 2026. Among the 49 whose check size is confirmed from a published source, the median range is $5M to $70M.

Bridge financing is short-term debt — typically 6 to 24 months — that funds a borrower until a specific longer-term event happens, such as a refinance, sale, or equity raise.

How it works

Underwritten against the exit event, not long-term cash flow.
Priced above permanent debt because of speed and short duration.
Often interest-only with a balloon at the exit.

When borrowers use it

Acquiring an asset before permanent financing or a sale closes.
Covering a timing gap in a refinance, recap, or project milestone.
