A show about leaders who move fast. Hosted by Peregrine Badger at Fifty Years. Fifty Years is a venture capital firm backing founders using technology to solve the world’s biggest problems.
We back founders working on climate change, health, free speech, affordable housing, and other global problems. When you’re working on problems like this, there’s a particular sense of urgency. Shipping faster means saving lives, preventing extinctions, and creating a future worth living for.
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.

Fifty Years is launching SPEED, a show about leaders who move fast! We started this show to bring the fastest strategies and tactics to bear on the world's biggest problems!
Episode #2 is with Erik Schluntz of Cobalt Robotics. Erik and his cofounder Travis started in 2016, on a quest to bring useful robots into human spaces, fast. They went from nothing to a first mobile robot prototype in 2 weeks, and a working robot at a paying customer site in 12 months.
We dive into what speed means to Erik, and what the team did early on to become successful. We hear about the team's many prototypes over the first year, engineering culture, how they cut scope to accelerate, and so much more!
