We Invest
The core of Bolt is backing extraordinary founders and their teams. We typically invest $200k-$1.5m, and are currently investing out of our $80m third fund.
We Lead
Bolt makes pre-seed and seed-stage investments, often as the first institutional investor. We lead or co-lead rounds of $1-4m and are happy to collaborate with other investors.
We Build
Our investment team has helped create many billions of dollars of market cap. We stand behind our entrepreneurs to help them realize the full potential of their companies.
We Focus
Our sweet spot is companies where physical products coupled with software enable long-lasting customer relationships and high-margin recurring revenue business models.
