The experience economy is on the rise as consumers are trending toward spending money on events rather than things. Velocity Black wants to capitalize on the shift with a subscription service app catering to the elite.
Velocity Black is a concierge-style membership service that offers experiences like private blue whale watching tours, flying a fighter jet to the edge of space, and taking a submarine down to the ruins of the Titanic.
