Ask Eric Simons and Albert Pai anything: a live founder Q&A for Founders Week

​Most startup advice comes secondhand, filtered through a blog post about what worked for someone else. During Founders Week, you can put your questions to the founders of Bolt.new.

​Eric Simons and Albert Pai started StackBlitz in 2017. In 2024, with the company close to shutting down, they launched Bolt.new and grew it to tens of millions in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within months. For one hour, live and unscripted, they'll take founder questions on that turnaround, from the product bets that felt riskiest to the advice they think is overrated.

​Meet your hosts
