Expanding Velocity’s Leadership to Better Support Founders
Velocity has had a remarkable evolution since our start in 2008. With a global network of founders and alumni, Velocity is rapidly growing! Today we are working with a broad range of startups that span software, deep tech, and health tech. Companies in each of these areas require different guidance and resources and therefore leaders within Velocity with matching expertise.
We are opening new Director roles to lead ecosystems and to develop the resources required to support software startups and deep tech startups. We will be announcing soon who will be leading health tech startups at Velocity.
If you are a former founder or past leader in a growth stage company and are energized to optimize and rethink how Velocity supports startups, this is your chance to shape our ecosystem!
