fast start

Strong opening momentum

A fast start is a strong beginning, especially in competitive contexts.

A team with a fast start wins early games; a runner with a fast start leads from the gun.

The phrase extends to any endeavor where initial momentum matters: The company got off to a fast start with three major clients in the first month.
