About Bolt
Founded in 2013 in Estonia, Bolt has grown from a local taxi app into a global multi-service platform. The company provides transport and delivery alternatives to private car ownership, serving over 200 million customers. Its ecosystem connects users with a network of 4.5 million driver, courier, and merchant partners across more than 850 cities worldwide.
The platform generates the majority of its revenue from ride-hailing commissions but has diversified into food and grocery delivery, e-bike and scooter rentals, and short-term car sharing. Bolt reached full-year profitability in 2025, supported by geographic expansion into new markets and increased monetization of its existing logistics and mobility services.
