Ryan Breslow

Ryan Breslow is the founder and CEO of Bolt, the one-click checkout company he built after dropping out of Stanford in 2014. Having once reached an $11 billion valuation and briefly becoming one of the world's youngest self-made billionaires, Breslow has led the company through a dramatic 97% valuation collapse and a gritty comeback - returning as CEO in 2025 in 'wartime' mode to rebuild Bolt as an AI-first payments SuperApp with roughly 100 employees.
