Both seems focus on checkout experience area. Bolt has been there longer than Fast.co, and also supports many different processing (not only Stripe) integration. On the other hand, Fast.co seems only support Stripe (sure, Stripe leads the fund round). What are the differences of the two? Which has better potential now? Bolt seems 18x'ed over 1.5 years btw.

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
I would consider Fast as an alternative payment method rather than checkout. Their checkout takes users to a different website to complete the checkout while bolt will make the user stay on the same website to complete the checkout. User experience is a big deal here. There are many more and I don’t see a reason to explain them here as Fast is not a competitor of Bolt.
How is Bolt culture and work? I saw they open some opportunities in Canada. Do you have any insight on Canada's teams?
Bolt engineering is in Canada in addition to many states in the US. You can work from any state in Canada with California TC. You can search on blind to understand work and culture
Bolt is 4 days work week
It's an experiment afaik
I m joining fast soon. Have offer from bolt as well. I think fast will do great in next 4 years
Best of luck! What makes you think so ? Any insights would be helpful!
Any reasoning behind your choice of Fast over Bolt?
Fast just announced that their revenue increased 15x since Jan. Definitely more upside.
LMAO, I think I know who you are. Please confirm if your last name has two consonants, your first name has three consonants and the first name of the CEO of your employer prior to Wish has three consonants.
There are many players in the market. Chargebee, 2checkout, Fastspring…unless someone acquires none of them going to meet the inflated valuations.
all these companies don't run the same area of business as Fast and Bolt. Amazon's patent expires in 2018 and there is no way for these companies starting doing it for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Click
I am OP and join Fast today. Please DM this for any questions.
How was the interview process?
Never believe revenue multiplier numbers from companies. They claimed 15x growth in revenue - reality was 600k revenue in 2021. Bolt also seems very overvalued given how fintech companies have been slaughtered by the market.
Op , from which do you have offer ?
still interviewing so sorry cannot tell right now
ok, now have the offer from both
