BOLT MISSION
BOLT’s mission is to help companies succeed where they thought they couldn’t, attain the impossible, and grow beyond their expectations. We take a unique approach to each of our customers and uphold the responsibility of behaving like remote employees that care about the business as much as the in-house corporate team. Our skillset includes brand development, market research, functioning as external sales and marketing employees, and we have expertise in rapid-growth, business capitalization, and divesture strategies.
BOLT VISION
BOLT aspires to exemplify and instill ethical focus, relentless optimism, candid criticism, respectful feedback, and a sense of urgency into every business we touch.
We started BOLT because we know that our work, which is a significant part of our lives, should be fun…and business, when it is functioning and thriving, is one heck of a lot of fun. Part of that ride for us, is doing the hard work..being brave enough to extinguish the old and worn-out, and bold enough to integrate and get dirty bringing in the new.
This is what BOLT is all about. Bringing greatness, through hard work and intelligence, powerfully blended with the right intentions and keen business sense to any business at any growth stage at any time. When the businesses we touch win, we win. And we win dirty, laughing, and damn proud of our efforts in the trenches.
