Breslow became famous when Bolt Financial Inc., his one click-payments startup, landed an $11 billion valuation last year. The same week, Breslow unleashed a series of fiery tweets attacking the founders of competing startup Stripe Inc. and its backers as the “mob bosses” of Silicon Valley, only to leave daily operations at the company soon after. Bolt, where Breslow still serves as chairman, later settled a lawsuit brought by a major customer, Authentic Brands Group, and laid off hundreds of employees.
