About Bolt Insight
Bolt Insight is a global market research company built to help organisations make better decisions by staying closer to the people they serve.
Founded in 2019, Bolt was created to challenge the idea that insight has to be slow, fragmented or disconnected from real decision-making.
Our mission is to bring real consumer voices into the heart of business, in a way that is faster, more scalable and more actionable.
Our technology is designed by researchers, for researchers, with ethics, transparency and human oversight built in from the start. AI accelerates the process, but it is human judgement that gives insight its meaning.
Today, Bolt is powered by a team of over 50 specialists across London, Istanbul, Paris, New York and Singapore. We support clients around the world, helping them explore markets, test ideas, refine experiences and uncover opportunities with confidence.
