Bolt Threads

The Best Days are Ahead of Us

We believe that the best days of our planet are ahead of us. Because where some see a tree, we see a template. Where some see a flower, we see a framework.
Where some see a spider’s web, we see a solution. This is where billions of years of evolution meets the newest advances in biotechnology. Where we unlock nature’s blueprints and cultivate materials that are more beneficial to people and this amazing ecosystem we call home. This is the recipe for a more promising future.And we’ll be supplying the ingredients. Inspired by nature. Propelled by science. Driven to create way better materials for a way better world.

We leverage biotechnology and AI to learn from nature’s powerful processes, enhancing them to create innovative biomaterials.

Our approach respects nature’s brilliance while advancing beyond its boundaries.

Using simple yet powerful inputs like yeast, water, sugar, and salt, we replicate and refine nature’s processes to develop materials that are designed for effective formulations, with a strong focus on sustainability.

Since 2018, we’ve been dedicated to pioneering and manufacturing biomaterials at scale.Our work focuses on creating sustainable, high-quality solutions designed to enhance beauty and personal care formulations, with a commitment to minimizing environmental impact.

We believe that solutions to our most vexing problems can be found in nature. Every day we’re inspired by the amazing materials we work with and are driven by the desire to turn these materials into incredible products that solve the problems of a resource-constrained world.

We are a venture-backed, idea-driven company, led by world-class talent, and experienced executives from the technology and apparel industries.

In 2009, a bioengineer, a biophysicist, and a biochemist came together with an optimistic idea that through biotechnological innovation, they could change the world. They founded Bolt Threads with the goal to develop better materials for a better world.
