AMA w/ CEO of Bolt - from $0 to $20M and how we almost didn't make it

Live Feb 28th, 9am PT - drop your questions!


Hi everyone,

CEO of Bolt here! Super excited to open up about our journey and offer any learnings and stories I can to help other makers on their journey. Within a span of 2 months we've grown to $20M in revenue and were recently featured in NYT as paving the way for vibe coding.


Every decision can turn into a pivotal one for a start up, but you have to keep iterating and trust your gut. Feel free to AMA about bolt's journey, vibe coding, what we have in store, and how other makers can learn from bolt's past (and rapidly evolving future).

Hello, can you share Bolt’s roadmap a bit?

Are we going to see more seamless integration with GitHub so we can work on same source code in multiple tools? Also would be great if Bolt can do better job at reviewing changes LLM generated and following up on any new issues from terminal and devitools console

Hi @ericsimons40 , loved to hear how you iteratively develop MVP with your seed users and how to keep them engaged and even advocating your products? :)

If you had to start Bolt all over again from day one, what’s one thing you would do completely differently? And why did you "almost didn't make it" ?

Eric, love hearing stories of resilience! When scaling from 0 to $20M, what were the biggest operational processes you had to automate to keep things running efficiently? We’ve seen automation be a game-changer for growth-stage teams
