Early conviction

Capital and conviction.

01 / The Bolt approach
More than capital.
Experience, invested.
We focus on two companies addressing significant needs in AI infrastructure and mental health. Our approach combines early conviction with sustained involvement, working alongside their leadership teams as the businesses grow and prepare for their next stage.
Active involvement
Our managing partners hold board roles within the portfolio, contributing entrepreneurial experience, financial leadership and support with key appointments.
Long-term value
We support the development of businesses that can attract growth capital, strategic partners and potential acquirers as they mature.
02 / Our core portfolio
Technology that matters.
Businesses with purpose.
CUDO and JAAQ address two distinct needs: the computing infrastructure behind AI and the technology that makes mental health support more accessible. Explore their businesses, leadership and development.
AI infrastructureCUDOCompute / Capacity / Scale
The infrastructure
behind the intelligence.
AI needs more than software. It needs high-performance computing, data-centre capacity and power. CUDO operates in this essential layer of the technology economy.
Our thesis
The growth of AI depends on access to GPUs, data-centre capacity and power. Our thesis centres on the role sustainable neocloud infrastructure can play in meeting that demand.
Mental health technologyJAAQKnowledge / Support / Connection
A more human
use of technology.
JAAQ develops digital mental health content and engagement tools. Its focus is helping organisations connect people with accessible information and support.
Our thesis
Mental health support needs to be accessible, trusted and engaging. Our thesis centres on JAAQ’s ability to combine technology and clinically governed content with distribution through employers and healthcare organisations.
