Bolt founder Ryan Breslow is our Twitter favourite right now. Here’s why

So, how has your week been?

Not as eventful as that of Ryan Breslow, founder of online checkout technology startup, Bolt, we’d wager.

Earlier this week, we told you about his extraordinary attack on Instacart investor Sequoia Capital.

In a series of Twitter posts, Breslow claimed that “Sequoia murdered Instacart’s founder Apoorva Mehta in cold blood”.

Last year, Instacart appointed Fidji Simo as its new CEO, just seven months after she joined the grocery delivery company’s board of directors. 

Simo, formerly the VP and Head of the Facebook app, replaced Mehta, with Mehta transitioning to executive chairman of the board.

Breslow said on Twitter: “As far as the mob goes, Sequoia is the Don. As vicious as they come. Their violence is done in silence. Experts at pressure & power.”

He then set his sights on Stripe, blaming it for the failure of Bolt rival Fast.

And he followed that up with a look at the relationship between the NYTimes CEO and Sequoia Capital as it emerged that the former had been contacting Breslow’s friends and colleagues.

Throughout the week, meanwhile, Breslow has been hitting us with various pearls of wisdom, including the Walmart $1 loaf theory.

During such a tumultuous time, Breslow has remained active on social media, engaging with his followers and utilising platforms to enhance his visibility.

This strategy is something that many seeking to expand their digital footprint could learn from. Indeed, strategies like buying Twitter followers can boost your profile visibility and social proof quickly and effectively. 

His take on the length of meetings. We’re totally onboard with this BTW.

Oh, and minting new dollars is theft of the poor.

And last but not least…

Name a retail tech startup guy or gal who is currently more entertaining than Breslow on social media.

You can’t, can you?
