I don’t think we realize how lucky we are to have this 90 minute podcast episode.

[@Tolerantiskastu]

One of the best, young and the most humble CEOs period. Bolt to the Moon!

[@philiphemme1]

Great episode Harry 👍 especially love the offline longer form format

[@GeorgeDicu-hs5yp]

this channel is a gold mine, thank you

[@barriehep]

What a great story, and really well told!

[@someoneelse8412]

It was hard for him to talk all of them into it. What’s fascinating is that after talking to hundreds people who all told him it’s a bad idea, he didn’t give up. I am especially glad to imagine all those IT guys who didn’t join project on the early stages biting their elbows (that’s russian expression) right now 😂

[@MyAliasJustImportantStuf-xl5uh]

Before that, hundreds of people said, that is a good idea.

[@someoneelse8412]

@@MyAliasJustImportantStuf-xl5uh yes, but many of us subconsciously give more weight to the negative responses and get discouraged

[@wolfman65812]

Such an exceptional episode. Thanks to both of you!

[@phil7326]

Good to know about the intricacies of how bolt was founded , it the market leader in my country Nigeria

[@HaraldLepisk]

1:19:17 "That's one of these things what Bolt is good at - how do we turn bad businesses into actually good businesses. Through level of cost efficiency that none of these other companies can match."

[@TheRealCelebrityDoctor]

Rent may be due, but thanks to this advice, financial stress doesn’t have to be! Grateful for these powerful tips. 🙏💼

[@bigbawsdogg]

Amazing story

[@hublirajat]

Somehow we didn't answer, if CAC goes up or if CAC goes down in a mature market?

[@elias3945]

Incredible!

[@mohamedabdulhi2950]

Me listening the founder of Bolt as a driver working for Bolt.

[@hanski1328]

I had my mouth open all the time as Harry😂

[@loveb-v6c]

masterclass

[@someoneelse8412]

1:07:00 − Spectacular confirmation how horrible people in Paris are, and how low (non-existent) is the morale there in terms of being law abiding person. I wonder what % of the people there think it’s ok to vandalize

[@frenchtutordakar7930]

Did they compensate the South African guy? I feel so bad for him. He helped this foreign company get hugely successful, whereas he was probably let go in a matter of months. It’s crazy. He should’ve negotiated at least some shares in the company.

[@adamsilton5017]

A truly fantastic video, the founder is talking about real stuff and real information. The interviewer is intelligent, capable and very good. However hearing him swear so much I find offputting and makes him sound untrustworthy. This is because it doesn't fit his endearing and erudite personality, so it takes away from his credibility.

[@ianmelrose2099]

Why are you wearing shorts😂

[@chanrox69]

He scaled down and he regrets it. He wished ro expand aggressively. I can't understand

[@chanrox69]

He said that he's been selling websites but also no money at 19 for this startup.. sus

[@Brodragon2225]

he false predicted that uber would buy it.Problem is you can't be too much profitable in this industry without going jail

[@bernarddark3972]

I am sorry, but what is so awesome about this. He copies Uber, and he wants Applaus. Uber did all the hard work of discovering product market fit, and then someone comes in and codes the same exact replica of the business in his country, and he wants applaus. That is why investors perhaps didn't give him the chance of day. Copy cats like this are why Europe always falls behind. Why don't you develop something new and see if you can move that fast. I don't listen to guys like this who copies what others have worked hard to develop and wants to raise money to compete with the ones who actually developed the product. Don't reward clones. The sad thing is their goverments made it hard for Uber to grow in that region, giving them free ride to scale in that region. I just can't stand copycats.

[@MyAliasJustImportantStuf-xl5uh]

Sry, but Estonia and other countries are very happy to have Bolt. It makse life so much easier. A copy from Uber or not.

How to get a masters in startup jargon / thinking - WATCH THIS CHANNEL. Always come away learning something.
