Bridge US is a San Francisco, California based legal services corporation that offers immigration services and resources in the United States.
History
[edit]The company was founded in late 2012 after being incubated at the Harvard Innovation Lab.
In 2013, Bridge US raised $800,000, with backers including 500 Startups and Miriam Rivera, COO and general counsel of the Minerva Project, a venture backed educational institution.[4][5]
In 2014, Bridge US launched an immigration software platform for lawyers and human resources professionals, which enables companies, whether corporate or small-scale, to efficiently hire immigrant workers.[6] The Bridge US dashboard uses web forms to guide users and companies through the process of gaining visas for foreign labor.[7]
In 2020, Next Act, an initiative launched by Unshackled Ventures, NGO Upwardly Global, and Bridge US to help job seekers, shared data that indicated a rising withdrawal of internships and job offers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
It was acquired in 2023 by Boundless Immigration.[9]
