Bolt Biotherapeutics, Inc.

Bolt Biotherapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on developing cancer therapies built on its proprietary Boltbody™ Immune-Stimulating Antibody Conjugate (ISAC) platform. The company combines tumor-targeting antibodies with immune-stimulating linker-payloads to activate the innate immune system and drive anti-tumor responses. Its pipeline is centered on myeloid biology and early-stage oncology drug development, with collaborations used to expand the number of ISAC programs and potential clinical candidates. Bolt has not yet commercialized a product and has generated revenue only from collaboration agreements rather than product sales.
