Innovation has become a race — but it shouldn’t be. In the frenzy to build fast, pivot faster, and disrupt everything, we’re seeing more burnout, shallow products, and ethical missteps.
As an innovation advisor to early-stage startups, I advocate for slow innovation:
- Deep user research before MVP
- Ethical and societal consideration baked into design
- Intentional team rhythms that allow creative slack, not just deadlines

Love this perspective. There’s pressure to always ‘move fast’ in tech — but depth is what creates legacy.
Preach! We rushed a product launch last year and are still fixing the fallout. Slow is strategic.
