A show about leaders who move fast

At Fifty Years, we back founders using technology to solve the world’s biggest problems — climate change, health, affordable housing, and other global issues. These problems demand urgency. Shipping faster means saving lives, preventing extinctions, and creating a future worth living. Yet regulation, supply chains, real-world experiments, and novel science can all stand between a founder’s dream and a better future.

We interview leaders who move fast, and ask them what they did and how they did it, with the goal of bringing their strategies and tactics to bear on the world’s biggest problems.

SPEED is hosted by Peregrine Badger, an ex-founder who’s now on the team at Fifty Years. Follow @peregrinebadger and @fiftyyears on X (Twitter) to get notified when new episodes drop.

“Most decisions should be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you’re probably being slow.”
