Sorted by Median commits/14d. Data from Q3 2026. Source: public GitHub data, CC BY 4.0.
Commit velocity is the total number of commits to a startup's most active public repository over a rolling 14-day window. It's a direct measure of engineering throughput.
It depends heavily on sector and language. A Rust infrastructure startup with 50 commits/14d may be outperforming a JavaScript SaaS startup with 200 commits. Compare against the sector median, not an absolute number.
