Velocity Acquisition Corp., led by CEO Adrian Covey, is a special purpose acquisition company formed by &vest with the purpose of entering into a business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an initial business combination with a company in any sector or geography, it intends to focus its search on "digital transformation" businesses — i.e., companies enabling corporations to accelerate the full digitization of their businesses — including digital services, digital platforms, and related sectors in North America. Velocity is the second special purpose acquisition company launched by &vest, an investment platform founded and led by CEO Doug Jacob.
