Speed is a Skill

As Patrick Collins of Stripe points out, Speed is a Skill. It can be improved with focused effort over time.

Velocity permeates everything we do at Storytell, where I'm CEO. We've made "The Power of Now" one of our core company values, and as an advisor to FounderCulture, I do it to remind the Founders of the same thing.

Velocity is Speed, applied

As I point out in this post titled "Turning Speed into Velocity: Your Vision, Mission, Values & OKRs," velocity is speed applied in a specific direction. And that is what really matters in building successful startups: Learning and iterating a quickly as possible.
