Additionally, Bolt shares her insights on the role of a support network for startup founders, understanding the target investor demographic, and offers advice to fellow founders. We also discuss the trend of remote working and its impact on work-life balance and employee well-being. We wrap up the season and look forward to returning in September 2022.
