Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A round or note announced by Bolt or reported with Bolt’s confirmation, bringing new money to the company.

Tender

A sale of existing shares between holders. It brings no money to Bolt; no step-up and no multiple.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). Bolt has not stated a run-rate with any round, so no multiple is shown.

What is not a separate row

Didi’s undisclosed 2017 investment, a December 2020 valuation (not disclosed), the July 2019 $67M Series C (only mentioned in later coverage), any debt financing, and secondary-market prices.
