We’ve just announced a quadrupling of our business since the pandemic started, recording our most successful month on record in July 2022.

We launched two new products during the pandemic and now have operations in 45 countries and over 500 cities across Europe and Africa — an increase of over 200% before the pandemic.

Bolt’s continuous growth

Globally, we’ve tripled our customer base to over 100 million since the beginning of 2020, added more than two million new drivers to the platform, and doubled the size of our workforce to more than 3000 employees.

We’ve also opened several new offices over the past year, including engineering hubs in Berlin and Nairobi. And we continue to advertise over 350 open roles with a view to hiring 700 more employees by the end of 2022.

Markus Villig, Bolt’s CEO, founded the company in Tallinn, Estonia, in August 2013. Then just a teenager, Markus personally recruited the first drivers to the platform on the streets of Tallinn and has since built a business valued at €7.6bn at the time of its latest funding round.
