Exit Velocity

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