Bolt
Building a shopping community by solving the biggest pain point in e-commerce.
About
San Francisco-based Bolt, founded in 2014, manages the back-end of digital checkouts to gives retailers and consumers more choice, control and flexibility over their transactions.
The platform combines lightning-fast checkout, payment processing and fraud protection with full chargeback coverage.
Levelling the e-commerce playing field, Bolt offers merchants a simple but powerful checkout solution that increases conversion rates while eliminating fraud.
Our investment
Bolt has been defining checkout long before anyone saw it as a category. We have been proud to back the company across every round since the Series A in 2018.
