Last month, colleagues at our Tallinn HQ held a Clothes Swap. About 150 pieces changed hands; leftovers went to Uuskasutuskeskus, a local second-hand charity — 10 kg kept in circulation rather than discarded. Employees said it was a good reminder on how to bring sustainability into consumption habits. At Bolt, we're working towards 90% of our waste finding a new use through circular-economy solutions by 2030. Getting there is partly about material flows at scale, and partly about making the lower-waste option the easier one. Sustainability is considered in how we design our services, run operations, and use our offices. A clothes swap is one small way we connect our employees to the sustainability mindset. #lifeatbolt #sustainability

💡 New Bolt Tech Blog alert: AI can turn a Figma design into working UI code in minutes. So why are teams still building the same component twice? At Bolt, designers were already using AI coding agents to create working components. But those components lived in a separate Storybook while engineers rebuilt them for the production library. We updated our workflow so designers can contribute directly to the component library behind bolt.eu, serving 60M+ users across 50+ markets. 👉 Designers validate: visuals, states, motion, and tokens 👉 Engineers review: accessibility, APIs, and architecture 👉 The reviewed component is the one that ships The result: routine UI components now go from roughly a week to about an hour. AI handles repetitive implementation work. Engineers focus on the architecture and decisions that keep the system reliable as it scales. In our latest Tech Blog, Tech Lead Burak Özdemir shares how, in collaboration with Senior Product Designer Conor McLaughlin, the team made this workflow possible, using agent guardrails, one shared library, and focused review to reduce front-end drift.

Lucid Motors and Bolt are partnering to accelerate autonomous mobility across Europe, with plans to develop and deploy at least 25,000 autonomous Lucid vehicles in the years ahead.   Combining Lucid's software-defined vehicle platform, Bolt's operating infrastructure and mobility expertise, and NVIDIA Hyperion technology, we're building a solution designed to rapidly scale manufacturing and deployment across the continent. It marks a major step towards our goal of having 100,000 autonomous vehicles on the Bolt platform by 2035.

How are you getting home? It’s a question behind so many nights out, often asked before the plans are even made. The data shows how much travel impacts night-time culture: 👉 57% of 18–24-year-olds in our UK polling say they would go out more often if getting home were easier. 👉 Over 25% of all UK Bolt trips take place during night-time economy hours, from 6 PM to 6 AM. That’s why Bolt is now the exclusive ride-hailing partner of 16 UK music and live entertainment venues operated by Academy Music Group and Live Nation Entertainment. When a show ends, getting home safely and conveniently should be the easiest part of a great night, in the UK and in every city we serve. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eVCcGWVE

Mobility should work for everyone. Not just some. This year's EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK theme is a timely reminder: maintaining mobility for all isn't just an aspiration. It's something cities need to actively design for. At Bolt, we're backing that goal with research. Through our Sustainable Urban Transitions Lab, we're working with cities to build truly multimodal systems — ones that are tailored to the full diversity of people who live, work, and move through them. Our VP of Policy Affairs, Eirini Zafeiratou, explains what that looks like in practice on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eWdSsrYV

“I applied for the job as a joke.” That’s what one designer told us before moving to Tallinn. 🇪🇪 He wasn’t the only skeptic: One thought Estonia was in Africa. One wondered, “What am I actually going to do there?” One had never even stepped foot in the country. And one fell in love on a 2-day visit, but never imagined living here. Fast forward to today: all 5 are designing products for millions of users at Bolt. What made them take the leap? 👉 Work that matters: Designing features that impact real daily movement. 👉 Culture fit: Joining teams that value autonomy over bureaucracy. 👉 Lifestyle upgrade: A seaside capital with 15-minute commutes and zero clutter. 👉 Room to breathe: Trading burn-out for balance, nature, and actual personal space. Is it all perfect? No. They’ll be the first to tell you about the pitch-black winters, missing family, and starting a social life from scratch. But their main advice? You don't need 100% certainty to make a life-changing move.

This week, 10 graduates started their journey in Bolt’s 12-month Product Builder Graduate Programme. Over the year ahead, they’ll be embedded in product teams, working on real challenges and using AI to help turn ideas into solutions that reach millions of people. Welcome to Bolt, Product Builders. We’re excited to see what you’ll build. #earlycareers #bolt

Our latest campaign is made from 30,000 pieces of content. But none of it was made by us. You Won’t Find This At Home encourages people to step outside: to discover new places, connect with people, and turn experiences into memories. After all, no good story ever started with “I stayed home.” So, instead of telling people what they might find out there, we built the campaign from what people had already found. We sourced the content from our customers and employees and turned it into 17 local campaigns, each with its own footage, music and nuances. Here’s one of them, from our home turf in Estonia. 🇪🇪 Thank you to everyone who contributed. Keep going out and doing things. And we’ll keep getting you there.

Londoners make 1.5 million bike trips daily. As Bolt continues to grow across the city — across both four wheels and two — keeping street safety front and centre is essential. We're supporting Transport for London's campaign to highlight the Highway Code and making sharing the road safer for everyone. A quick reminder for the road: 👉 Drivers: Give riders plenty of space (at least 1.5m) and check blind spots before turning. 👉 Cyclists: Stay visible, hold a predictable line, and stop at red lights. 👉 Everyone: Keep your head up, stay patient, and share the street.

1,296,000 seconds. 360 hours. 45 days. 2 months. 1 internship. Over the past two months, 51 interns stepped straight into engineering, finance, legal, sustainability, people, compliance, and communications. A few of their wins included turning multi-day audits into 30-minute runs, upgrading core tools for thousands of employees, and building stronger fraud defenses. They leave behind stronger systems, endless stories, plenty of kohuke wrappers, and friendships that extend far beyond the summer. To our 2026 cohort: thank you for asking direct questions, tackling complex problems without hesitation, and bringing serious energy to Bolt HQ every day 💚 This chapter is officially wrapped, but we can't wait to see what you build next. 🚀 #lifeatbolt #earlycareers
