A term from baseball, initially referring to the baseball’s speed, comes off the bat immediately after a batter makes contact. In venture, it refers to the rate between investment and exit, immediately when the investment is made to the liquidity event that allows the investor to cash out. For example — capital invested for growth funds has a higher exit velocity than the capital invested by accelerators in startups. The ventures are less mature and have a longer time to exit.
