Bolt is a fast-growing digital pharmacy. We're building the infrastructure to deliver safe and affordable access to private prescription treatments. We launched in 2023 and have already grown into a fully licensed, fast-moving community pharmacy, operating both in-person and online and serving thousands of patients.
We offer the lowest-cost GLP-1s in the UK because we run on At-Cost Pricing: our patients pay exactly what we pay. No inflated margins. No hidden fees. Just radical price transparency and access to wholesale medication costs. We believe these medications should be available to anyone who needs them, and our model is designed to make that happen.
GLP-1 medications are a f*ing big deal. We’re in a remarkable and rapid period of change that’s reshaping how healthcare works. Our mission is to accelerate the global take-up of GLP-1 medications to help solve obesity worldwide.
We’re a young startup, part of Embedded Medical, and we’re just getting started. This is still Day 1 — and all our work is ahead of us.

These are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members at Embedded:
Belief in the mission: We will have served 10 million patients by the end of 2028 and we transform the life of most patients who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our patients and are dedicated to the mission.
Unwavering integrity: We are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can’t look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity.
Only the paranoid survive: Bad sh*t is coming. By joining us, you’re choosing to sail straight towards the storms with unhesitating conviction. However much we’ve already done, however far we’ve already come — it’s still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us.
Your life’s work: This will be your most challenging, most rewarding role of your life. You’ll be shocked how capable you are & how much you can achieve.
If we’re average we fail: We are only interested in “insanely great”, a focus on the quality of our execution that in everyday life would be considered pathological. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence.
Commitment to candor: That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. You get full transparency from the company and the company expects full transparency from you. We never say anything about someone that we wouldn’t say to them directly. We give feedback with love and do not need to protect people from fleeting physical sensations.
A maniacal sense of urgency: We execute at an intensity that most people think is impossible. Speed is critical and we need things done yesterday. We all work very hard and in such a competitive world there really is no other way to win.
Enduring frugality: We are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. A culture of cheapness keeps us young. We spend our cash wisely & carefully — in a way that would make our grandmas proud.
Bulldozing barriers: The world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves.
Keep your head down: We’re boring people doing exciting work. We don’t chase short-term status — we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that.
The power of focus: We live in a world of power laws and we cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. Know your One Thing, and nail it.
“You just build a fing amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the customer. Give the customer massively more value than you take.”*
