General Questions

What does BOLT do?

BOLT is a consultancy that specialises in designing and delivering innovation programs, startup accelerators, hackathons and strategic events. We serve as an end-to-end execution partner for organisations looking to drive meaningful outcomes through agile and impactful initiatives.

Where are you based and where do you operate?

We are headquartered in the UAE and operate globally. Our team has delivered programs across regions, including the Middle East, Europe and Asia, supporting partners in scaling local ideas to international success.

Do you only work with startups?

We work with a wide range of stakeholders including corporates, government entities, universities and innovation hubs that are looking to engage with startups, innovators or wider communities.

Can BOLT be hired for individual projects, such as a single event or hackathon?

While we often manage projects entirely from idea to impact, we are fully equipped to support specific components such as challenge design, program strategy, on-ground execution, mentor sourcing and registration support, to name a few.

How long do your programs typically run?

Timelines vary based on the nature of the engagement. Hackathons can run from a few days to two weeks. Startup programs typically span 4 to 12 weeks minimum. Strategic events range from single day activations to multi week formats. We customize the duration to match the objectives and desired outcomes.

What makes BOLT different?

Our strength lies in fast, agile execution delivered by a multilingual team with deep regional experience. We combine startup agility with operational rigour and we’re known for bringing energy, attention to detail and results driven delivery across borders.

Do you offer mentorship or training?

We often incorporate mentorship tracks, founder clinics and capacity building workshops into our programs whether for startups, students or internal teams.

When should we reach out to begin planning a program?

We recommend reaching out 6 to 8 weeks in advance to allow time for thoughtful planning and design. That said, our team is experienced in managing shorter lead times when necessary.

Does BOLT manage marketing or outreach efforts?

While we are not a marketing agency, we do lead the strategy, planning, and content direction for many of our programs. We frequently collaborate with external PR and media partners to ensure messaging is aligned, timely and impactful.

What types of startups does BOLT work with?

We work across a wide range of sectors including sustainability, AI, gaming, fintech, and mobility. Whether supporting early stage founders or scale-ups entering new markets, we tailor our support to the maturity and goals of the startups involved.
