# Building a Bridge

> A step-by-step overview of how to create and configure a Bridge in Starbridge.

## Overview

Bridges are the core of Starbridge — they surface the right buyers for your team and keep that data fresh over time. This guide walks through the full process from start to finish.

## Steps to build a Bridge

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build a buyer list">
    Before you can build a Bridge, you need a list of accounts you want to target. A buyer list defines the universe of buyers Starbridge will monitor for signals.

  <Step title="Set up your search agent">
    Configure your Bridge's search agent to scan for the signals that matter to your team. This determines what Starbridge looks for across your buyer list.
