The cohort spans deep tech, fintech, and defense tech verticals, representing a combined valuation of over €800M. Participants will meet with partners at Sequoia, a16z, and Founders Fund, as well as senior leadership at Google, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.

Tomasz Wiśniewski — Community
Bridge to the Bay is part of our Global Representation activity. The program was designed in response to member feedback: Polish founders consistently report that US investors lack awareness of the Polish ecosystem's scale and maturity. Direct exposure is the fastest fix.
Applications for the spring 2026 cohort will open in January. Priority is given to TechPL member companies at Series A and above.
