We are an innovation catalyst for startups and corporations
We started out in 2013 as an incubation and acceleration space for tech startups.
Since then, Runway has become a nexus for startups, corporate innovators, and investors. Our mission is to bridge the gap between big companies and startups, and connect them to help drive growth for both organizations.
We’ve done a standout job. The results speak for themselves.
How we help you achieve your goals
Our executive education team designs the optimal program to bring the results you care about.
We help you clarify and break down your goals and priorities, map out new areas for opportunities, and define a clear path forward to transform your organization from what it is today to what it aspires to be tomorrow.
Our clients usually include employees mandated with developing an innovation strategy, corporate innovators submitting an initiative to their management, and executives looking at getting started but who don’t know where to begin.
Multimodal education
We offer webinars, panels, site visits, workshops, and seminars to help you understand Silicon Valley’s business culture and language. Learn best practices for how to approach investors, acquire talent, scale, and much more.
Domain specific learning
Whether you are looking to focus on a type of innovation, an industry, or a specific technology application (like Energy, Robotics or Synthetic Biology), we help you craft the perfect program, and make an impact.
Access to a curated community
We connect you with the right people. With Runway, you get direct access to our tight-knit community of startup alumni, investors, corporations, mentors, and industry advisors in the Bay Area and at a global level.
