Turning Constraints into Competitive Edges

About

How can a product team stay competitive when massively outnumbered? At Bolt Food, we built and scaled a food delivery product from scratch in just 6 months, competing with much larger teams like Wolt. This talk shares the principles, mindset, and execution model that allowed a 150-person team with only 9 product designers to deliver meaningful outcomes across a complex ecosystem.

You’ll learn how ruthless focus, pragmatic leadership, and deliberate hiring help us not just survive, but lead. From high-impact design sprints to building product vision under extreme constraints, this session will offer concrete takeaways for anyone building in fast-paced, resource-limited environments.
