Why We Are Here
The SF Bay Area is abundant with vibrant start-up and
early-stage companies in high-tech and other industries. We recognize
that these entities must focus their resources on core business objectives, but
still need the skills and direction of seasoned finance talent. Bridge-FS was formed to fill this void.
Catering to privately-held and VC backed firms, we offer a variety of services to
help those businesses succeed.
