Today Poppy Gustafsson, Darktrace CEO, delivered a stellar presentation at the Fast Growth Icons event, talking on how to build a billion-dollar business amid rapid growth.

My new event Velocity² just hit 50 paying delegates. And still 10 months to go to the event. Mostly founders, mostly from businesses with over 50 staff. It's going to be great! velocitysq.com

Great tips from the disarmingly authentic David Buttress, who built Just Eat to a multi-$bn business “We weren’t the first mover but I think we were the best executor - that was about the simple little things that we did over and over again”. Mark Bonsignore velocitysq.com/how-to-build-a…

Really proud of Velocity² (Maintain and Manage Growth at Scale). Here are some key stats so far: 82 paying delegates (event is 21 weeks away) 87% from startups, of which: 60% CEOs 42% have 100-500 staff 60% have 50-500. Come and have a look: velocitysq.com

Why I am launching Velocity² - AKA why do I think Europe needs yet another tech event? 1. There's nothing focused on practical advice and insights specifically for leaders of growth stage businesses 2. Most events seem to prioritise size of event over value delivered /Thread

Velocity² Companies growing rapidly (50%+) who are also transitioning from 10s to 100s of employees face a unique set of challenges driven by two main factors. 1. Complexity - even with linear growth, complexity (driven by numbers of individual 1-2-1 relationships) grows exponentially. 2/

Velocity² The event itself is being designed to be hugely valuable in practical terms. It's never enough to just have a few big names. We're carefully selecting the people that have valuable lessons to share and who aren't afraid to talk about when it has gone wrong. 7/

Velocity² Fast Growth Icons The event will also be highly concentrated in terms of quality of delegate. Numbers are limited to 500 and we expect 50% to be founders of businesses with 50-500 employees. 25% to be their leadership teams, and 25% to be growth investors and suppliers. x.com/BenFletch/stat… 9/
