🚀 Bolt Checkout has completely transformed our checkout experience for Linda's! From the very first transaction, we saw the difference — faster checkouts, fewer abandoned carts, and happier customers. The seamless one-click experience doesn’t just feel modern, it is modern, and it removes the friction that used to slow our buyers down. The best part? Our conversion rates jumped, and our customers keep telling us how much they love the simplicity. Bolt has taken what used to be a “necessary step” and turned it into a delightful moment in the customer journey. If you care about speed, trust, and giving your customers a reason to come back again and again, Bolt is a no-brainer. Ty Bolt team!

I interview a lot of interesting people in fintech, but sitting down with Ryan Breslow—just months after he reclaimed his role as CEO of Bolt—was a highlight of Fintech Mavericks S2 powered by Brex. Ryan’s story is raw, gritty, and purpose-driven in all the ways that remind me why I became a journalist covering this industry in the first place. If you don’t know, Ryan is the reason we all love (and expect) one-click checkout. He’s a pioneer, full stop. But what strikes me most isn’t just the innovation—it’s the conviction. When we sat down, he didn’t shy away from talking about the messy parts: → What it’s like to step back into the CEO seat after a break → The hard truths and lessons learned along the way → Why building for the 99% still drives everything he does Plus, Bolt is coming in hot launching 10+ other major products including Checkout 2.0 with Palantir Technologies, Embedded One-Click Financing with Klarna, Stablecoins, Bolt Charge, Bolt Connect, Self Service, Radical New Pricing, Bolt for Shopify, Bolt for App/Game Developers, High Risk, and so much more. As someone who spent my twenties building Fintech Is Femme, I felt this conversation in my bones. When Ryan talks about being a little stubborn, a little insane, and a little demanding—it’s very Samantha Jones energy (IYKYK). I relate. Because building something that matters isn’t always pretty. It’s not always balanced. But it is always worth it. If you’re a founder grinding through the summer—still showing up, still making the next bet—I see you. I appreciate you. And I’m right there with you. Episode 2 with Ryan Breslow is live wherever you get your podcasts. Tune in, get inspired, and let’s keep building. As always, love interviewing with my co-host Drew Glover of Fiat Growth. Full show link in comments. 🚀

Our Founder and CEO Ryan Breslow sat down with Nicole Casperson and Drew Glover from Fintech Mavericks to talk about how Bolt got started, what we’re building toward, and what it’s really like to lead through many phases of growth. Don’t miss the rapid-fire questions at the end. Some great takeaways, a few surprises, and a quick nod to the Bolt soundtrack. Watch the full video here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/giECCwcK
