Company Overview
Bolt is a shared mobility platform that has operations in over 50 countries and 600 cities and provides shared mobility services including ride-hailing, scooter and e-bike rental and car rental to over 200 million customers. More than 4.5 million drivers use the Bolt platform around the world.
The company seeks to accelerate the transition from owned cars to shared mobility, offering better alternatives for every use case.
Bolt started in 2013 when Markus Villig – a 19-year old high-school student – realised how bad the taxi service in Tallinn was with long waiting times, poor service and high prices.
Borrowing the first €5000 from his parents, Markus built the first version of ride-hailing software and launched Bolt with 50 drivers he had personally recruited on the streets of Tallinn.
Later, his brother Martin Villig and technical co-founder Oliver Leisalu joined him to build what we know as the Bolt app today.
Every Bolt product gives people a better alternative to owning a private car – helping them save time, money, and stress while building more sustainable, livable cities.
Our work also empowers millions of drivers and couriers around the world to earn an income on their own terms.
At Bolt, every team member directly shapes how people move, live, and experience their cities.
