Bolt Practice

Steve founded Bolt Practice with three of his children Charlie (24), Ella (23) and Jude (17). He serves as Chairman and created Bolt Method™, which helps people decide where AI belongs in their work and how to use it well.

Andy Knights, the former CEO of three franchised businesses within the Trafalgar Group, runs the business as Managing Director. The Bolt Practice team combines world-class experience in AI, learning, technology, marketing, finance, social impact and safeguarding.

Bolt Capital

Steve is Managing Partner of Bolt Capital Partners LLP and an Investor Director at JAAQ.

Over the past four years, Bolt Capital has led multiple seed investment rounds in two AI companies, JAAQ and CUDO. During this period, their combined annual revenues increased from £5 million to £70 million, while their combined valuation rose from £28 million to £294 million.

Steve’s latest book, Think With Me, is now available online. It combines personal stories with practical exercises and introduces Bolt Method™, the approach behind Bolt Practice.

His current writing considers the practical decisions that AI puts before business leaders: what to delegate, which evidence to trust and where human judgement matters most.
