“At Bolster, we work with our portfolio companies from a joint perspective. We stick together through thick and thin. The entrepreneurs we collaborate with say that they feel supported by us, even in more challenging times. That’s a wonderful compliment and it makes me feel proud. We tackle problems and celebrate successes together. That’s what I stand for. There’s never a hidden agenda; there’s only one: that of the enterprise.”
