The launch of Bolt was a significant moment, as it transformed the company from the brink of failure to achieving 20 million ARR in just two months, showcasing the power of effective product-market fit.

The rapid growth of Bolt has led to a surge in user requests and feature demands, prompting the team to prioritize based on instinct and potential impact rather than just user feedback.

The success of Bolt is attributed to the core team of five to seven people who have been with the company for over five years, allowing for a strong foundation and trust within the team.

Startups are now achieving significant milestones, like hitting a million dollars in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within six months, which was previously an aspiration for 12 to 18 months post-batch.

In the latest batch, 80% of companies had no revenue at the start, but by demo day, their collective annual recurring revenue (ARR) had tripled, showcasing rapid growth and potential.

Using Bolt, a non-developer built a CRM with AI integration in three weeks for only $300, compared to a $30,000 quote from an agency that would have taken six months.

The technology behind Bolt allows users to build full-stack applications quickly and easily, making it accessible for non-developers to create functional software without extensive coding knowledge.

By the end of 2023, OpusClip achieved nearly 10 million ARR and 5 million user sign-ups, just seven months after launch.

We're experiencing 26% month-over-month growth, which means in 12 months, we could be 16 times bigger than we are now, indicating rapid expansion.
