Fixing onboarding starts with seeing it as a narrative, not a sequence of screens.

Insight

Bad onboarding isn't about design-it's about disconnection. Most onboarding flows are built around features , not value . They teach users what the product does, not why it matters.

How Velocity Approaches It

We rebuild onboarding around the user's "aha moment." Velocity maps the emotional and functional path users take from signup to sustained value, identifying the precise drop-offs and motivational gaps along the way. We align product, growth, and communication into one experience that guides users to realize the core payoff fast-and reinforces it repeatedly. Our approach replaces guesswork with behavioral design. Every step serves a purpose, every message is context-aware, and every trigger moves users closer to self-sustaining engagement. If your onboarding feels broken and random, we'll help you build one that converts curiosity into conviction.
