Here’s the thing, @bolt is a dream company and @ryantakesoff is building a dream business. Congrats to the team!!!
🚨Big announcement today: Bolt raises $393M.
Wow.
A couple years ago, I didn’t know if we were going to make it.
Now we have $500M+ on the balance sheet.
I wanted to share a bit more about where we've been, but more importantly where we're going 👇👇👇

This is officially one of the coolest things we’ve seen, EVER. Fully convinced @immad is just building things hes wanted for years as a founder
1/ Excited to launch a new seed investor database.
We wanted to build the canonical database on investors:
- who is active?
- what do they invest in?
- how do I contact them?
etc
We worked with investors to build the best db and will keep it updated.

So cool. The definition of what startups should look like. We should stop correlating hours with output. It’s more than that, and can possibly lead to more output if we start questioning that framing
The biggest lesson I’ve learned in building a $4B company:
It’s all about the people.
I’m thrilled to announce today that Bolt is the first tech unicorn to officially shift to a 4 day work week.
Here’s why we did it and how we came to the decision 👇👇👇

There is no more ecstatic of a feeling than when a meeting gets rescheduled during the middle of a back to back day
