I agree. I don't see any way that Bolt benefits from having outstanding loans to employees for early option exercise, so all this criticism of them seems misplaced. Say what you want about their business model, valuation, etc., but this looks to me like an honest attempt to help employees with early option exercises. Stock options are risky at any juncture, but I appreciate having the option to exercise early as the tax benefits can be substantial.
