Markus Villig

Markus and Martin Villig (Bolt co-founders) donated over €220,000 to Estonian political parties including Reform Party (€30,521), Social Democratic Party (€15,521), and Isamaa (€2,021). These donations occurred while Bolt actively lobbied the Estonian government to oppose the EU Platform Work Directive.

Following Russia's invasion, Markus Villig led Bolt to donate €1M immediately and commit 5% of all European orders to Ukraine support (totaling €5M+). Bolt removed all Russian-associated products from Bolt Market and closed all Belarus operations. He was recognized as Partner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Estonia for Ukraine support.
