GoBolt

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 GoBolt is looking for leaders that have the capacity to force multiply our team and do impactful, unlikely things. GoBolt itself is an unlikely story. Heindrik and I were 21 and 22 when we started the business in 2017. I was destined for management consulting and Heindrik was destined for product management. Neither of us had logistics experience. We were unlikely to succeed. Through sheer grit, we’re on our way. So far, we’ve: 🌎 Launched 10 markets, with more on deck for 2025 📈 Achieved 9-figures of annual revenue 🤖 Implemented smart automation/robotics systems (with more to come) 💰 Raised $200m ⚡ Completed over 1,000,000 EV deliveries We’re looking for people that have the capacity to do the next unlikely thing for GoBolt, its merchants and its shoppers. Key roles that are open: 1. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 & 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 (https://shorturl.at/ipL7G) Support our growing North American team on interesting projects that enable our merchants to deliver to their shoppers faster and in a more sustainable way. 2.

Work with our talented tech team to build software that guarantees successful outcomes for our associates, merchants and shoppers. If you or someone you know sounds like they’d be a good fit, please apply or forward this post along.

Over the past year, I’ve shared updates on national carrier electric vehicle (EV) programs and the challenges of converting large fleets. But there’s one company in last mile delivery taking a different approach: GoBolt. 🚚⚡ I recently spoke with Jarrett Stewart, SVP at GoBolt, about their journey in building a sustainable supply chain network across the U.S. and Canada.  Instead of transitioning a legacy fleet, GoBolt started with electric vehicles from day one, driven by customer sustainability initiatives. Here are some key takeaways: Scale & Key Learning: - 1,000,000+ EV deliveries completed in under two years!  - The shift to EVs has brought operational benefits, even in challenging climates like Canadian winters.  - A key learning: understanding battery degradation in cold weather is crucial for optimizing performance. Challenges & Solutions: - Managing range and charging is vital. GoBolt helps drivers find charging stations and alerts them when it's time to recharge. - For new EV drivers, getting used to regenerative braking can take some time. - The company developed proprietary software to optimize routes, factoring in EV vehicle specs, delivery distances, in-route charging, and weather conditions. Customer & Market Impact: - Customers are fully on board, with some even installing EV chargers at their locations tha GoBolt can use for charging. - GoBolt's fleet includes electric trucks, vans, SUVs, sedans and e-bikes, serving cities like NYC, LA, Toronto, Vancouver, and Miami. - In their most recent month, over 60% of last mile deliveries were powered by EVs. - The company uses an internal emissions calculator to track impact and supports tree planting initiatives to sequester carbon. With growing customer demand, GoBolt plans to grow its EV fleet and continue to expand into new markets. I’m always curious to learn more about what other companies are doing in last mile delivery leveraging EV’s, so please reach out if you have an interesting case to share.
