One-click checkout fintech in turnaround under returning founder Ryan Breslow
Bolt is a one-click checkout fintech that peaked at an $11B valuation in 2022 before allegations of overstated metrics and a contentious split with founder Ryan Breslow. Breslow returned as CEO in early 2025 to lead a turnaround and super-app pivot, launching a unified consumer platform spanning payments, crypto, shopping, and rewards in September 2025. Bolt is reportedly raising $600M across Breslow's two companies (Bolt and Love.com) after earlier deal attempts at $14B and $450M raise sizes stalled. The company cut roughly a third of its workforce in April 2026 amid cash-flow pressure. Current valuation is unsettled — recent share-buyback marks ranged from ~$300M to $14B reported asks.
