Bolt, a company that provides checkout, identity, and payment solutions, has introduced Bolt Activate—a program designed to support the growth of digital commerce.
Bolt believes in empowering independent founders who are agile, understand their customers deeply, and possess innovative ideas. The new initiative is aimed at offering entrepreneurs the essential tools needed for expansion alongside access to enterprise-grade infrastructure, networking opportunities within the Bolt Activate Community, and an environment conducive to creative development.
Fostering Entrepreneurial Growth
Bolt Activate is tailored for startup founders seeking to enter the digital commerce arena without having to build everything from the ground up. This offering serves as a robust starting point, especially for early-stage DTC businesses, gaming companies, fintech firms, consumer health brands, creator-led enterprises, and retail-first entities expanding their online presence.
Enrolled participants will benefit from Bolt’s one-click checkout system and comprehensive suite of products. They also gain access to a worldwide network of fellow founders who provide invaluable insights and connections. Typically, new ventures are up and running within two to six weeks post-enrollment, with ongoing support through Bolt’s partner ecosystem and growth resources.
During this period of increased entrepreneurial activity, it is notable that between 2021 and 2023, there was a significant surge in US business formations. Many startups are being initiated by individuals rather than established agencies, requiring proven infrastructure to facilitate rapid scaling. With Bolt Activate, these founders can access advanced tools without the associated costs.
Through this program, participants join the Bolt Activate Community—an inclusive platform where they can form partnerships, share knowledge, and engage in expert-led sessions. Bolt is also organizing offline meetups and collaborative marketing initiatives aimed at enhancing visibility within the broader ecosystem of investors, consumers, and engineers.
