🚀 Top Voice | 100X Venture Hub

Meet Kevin McDonagh:

Currently serving as Director of Product, Kevin McDonagh is a veteran builder who has worked with 50+ product teams. Through that experience, he’s uncovered a simple truth:

The most impactful products aren’t born from polished processes — they emerge from the messy, iterative grind where learning, compromise, and momentum matter more than formality.

Kevin is also the mind behind Velocity, a browser-based AI prototyping assistant that helps teams test, iterate, and evolve ideas at lightning speed. His work empowers creatives to embrace rapid prototyping — not resist it.

💬 What Kevin Shares With the World

“I investigate how user testing and prototyping for design are evolving in the age of AI.”

This isn’t just a philosophy — it’s Kevin’s daily craft. He builds and shares insights on how design workflows are changing in AI-first environments.
His message is clear: AI shouldn’t replace human creativity — it should supercharge the early feedback loop.

📌 Product Spotlight: Velocity

What is it?
Velocity is an AI-powered prototyping assistant designed for the messy middle — where most real innovation happens. It helps you ideate, iterate, and test without the friction of over-engineered UX processes.

Why it matters:
Traditional tools are too slow. Static wireframes and pixel-perfect mockups often delay real user insight. Kevin’s POV?

“Let’s speed it up — and make it smarter.”

🧠 What Part of Kevin’s Journey Can Inspire Others?

“I’ve worked on 50+ product teams. The ones that obsessed over ‘perfect’ processes usually failed — because they were all process and no real-world value.

There’s always a messy middle. You can either fight it or build within it.”

Kevin doesn’t treat AI as a gatekeeper to precision. He treats it as a co-pilot for momentum — a tool to help teams move with more context, not more caution.

🎯 Why Kevin is a 100X Top Voice

At 100X Venture Hub, we don’t just celebrate clean case studies and polished launches. We spotlight the doers — the ones navigating chaos, testing fast, learning faster, and building with honesty.

Kevin embodies that ethos. He’s a builder who embraces imperfection, prioritizes momentum, and crafts tools that reflect how innovation actually happens.

📣 Final Word

Kevin’s work is a reminder:

Good design isn’t about sticking to a process.
It’s about using the tools that help you move fast, learn faster, and stay real.

In the age of AI, that clarity often comes not from perfecting — but from shipping, testing, and evolving.
