Hi everyone,
CEO of Bolt here! Super excited to open up about our journey and offer any learnings and stories I can to help other makers on their journey. Within a span of 2 months we've grown to $20M in revenue and were recently featured in NYT as paving the way for vibe coding.

I scout for a handful of investors in Silicon Valley. One of my jobs is to cut through the noise and surface the gems. Every so often, someone sends me a blurb that s crisp, compelling, and makes me want to learn more. When that happens, I usually take a meeting and sometimes even make intros.

That said, most blurbs I see aren t great. Founders are flying blind because no one s willing to be brutally honest with them. Let s fix that.

I had the good fortune to have a ton of great investors who backed my last company, Seedscout. Most of them are generally more private online, but I wanted to highlight some of them for founders on the fundraising trail to learn about. I d work with these folks 10/10 times again if I start something else up (no plans to right now).

Kenny Tucker (Tucker Seed Fund) Kenny is a machine. He was previously an exec at PlanGrid and Proxy, has a wealth of knowledge about this industry, and is just a gem of a human. He was incredibly helpful to me from brainstorming to capital strategy even when Seedscout was going sideways.
