Never herd of Bolt till this post.
That made me think, how come I've never heard of bolt up until this moment? Is their marketing so bad? They managed however to get to a poont of a "successful company with 600 employees, billions in GMV, and growing rapidly", right?
I visit HN at least 10 times per week. So I decided to check how many posts have they posted on this site since founding the company. I currently see 4 posts. Only 4.
So perhps, not posting in HN makes it harder if you wish to make it to front page.

- ttty 5y agoActually you should use this https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=bolt.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=bolt.com Not much difference, I think 1 more and many dead/flagged
- nextaccountic 5y agoWhy so many [dead]?
- dang 5y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23862027 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23862027 was flagged by users. The others were job ads, and job ads aren't allowed to be regular submissions. (This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.)
- Aliabid94 5y agoAlso 3 of their 4 posts got traction, 2 of them with lots of discussion. I would bet this is better traction than most YC companies get.
- anonymouse008 5y agoEvery time I see a bolt post from this company, I keep thinking it's Bolt the hardware incubator.
- nlitened 5y agoI thought it's Bolt, the European Uber (taxi, food delivery, etc).
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoTheir marketing isn't great. It's quite unclear exactly what they do. "One click checkout" means they do what exactly? I know what it means for me as an e-commerce company, but what does bolt do?
