[5] [6] [7]
Bridges was founded in 2002 by Michele Giddens, [8] Philip Newborough and Sir Ronald Cohen. [9] [10]

Bridges has an advisory arm, Bridges Impact+. It has a dual function: to maximise the social and environmental impact of Bridges’ own investments, and to work with external clients on projects that help to develop the sustainable and impact investing market as a whole. [13]
Bridges Impact+ also runs an educational programme in partnership with the Wharton School of Business’s Social Impact Initiative called MBA Impact Investing Networking & Training (MIINT). [14] The programme takes place annually and has historically included US graduate schools. [15] Social enterprises represented by the winning team are ultimately awarded a seed investment.
