Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc.

Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based specialty materials company built around its Vegan Silk Technology Platform, which it uses to develop and sell biomaterial products for beauty and personal care applications. The company’s current commercial focus is b-silk, a product positioned as a substitute for silicone elastomers in formulations. Bolt also previously worked on Mylo, a mycelium-based leather alternative, but discontinued that program in early 2023 to concentrate on Vegan Silk commercialization. Following a 2024 reverse merger, the operating business of Bolt Threads became the business of Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc., and the company now trades on Nasdaq under the ticker BSLK.
