Voi CEO says he’s open to acquiring Bolt’s micromobility business

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-03-12 09:20:25

Shared micromobility startup Voi is on the hunt for acquisitions. And on CEO Frederik Hjelm’s wishlist is Bolt, the European mobility super-app best known for ride-hailing. Not that Bolt’s micromobility business is necessarily for sale — despite talk of Voi buying the company’s scooter and bike arm. Bolt declined to comment when TechCrunch reached out. “Bolt is a great company, but they are mainly a ride-hailing company,” Hjelm told TechCrunch on stage at the Micromobility Industries roundtabl

The latest San Francisco startup culture drama happened on Monday night. And it centered around “the most legendary party that never happened,” Cluely founder and CEO Roy Lee tells TechCrunch. Cluely had hoped to throw an after-party for a Y Combinator event occurring on Monday and Tuesday called AI Startup School. The event drew crowds thanks to scheduled speakers like Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk. Cluely is an AI startup born of controversy and rage-bait comedy marketing. True to

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run was a landmark moment for Walt Disney Imagineering when it opened in 2019. It was the first Disney ride that allowed guests to directly control their experience and interact with the story. But for the next Smugglers Run mission, the company is going one step further and making the ride feel a lot more like a traditional video game, complete with branching choices and sophisticated enemies.

How fast can the RPython GC allocate?

While working on a paper about allocation profiling in VMProf I got curious about how quickly the RPython GC can allocate an object. I wrote a small RPython benchmark program to get an idea of the order of magnitude. The basic idea is to just allocate an instance in a tight loop: class A ( object ): pass def run ( loops ): # preliminary idea, see below for i in range ( loops ): a = A () a . i = i The RPython type inference will find out that instances of A have a single i field, which is an i

Aviation slang $100 hamburger ("hundred-dollar hamburger") is aviation slang for the excuse a general aviation pilot might use to fly.[1][2] Background [ edit ] A $100 hamburger trip typically involves flying a short distance (less than two hours), eating at an airport restaurant, and then flying home.

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud
