The Startup Runway Foundation (501c3) plugs investors into top startups led by underrepresented founders. We have regular Showcase introduction events and an active Angel network.
At Startup Runway, we turn the funding gap faced by underrepresented founders into an onramp. Our Finalists have had rounds led by firms from Canaan Partners to Microsoft, Techstars, Valor, Floodgate and more.
These are some of the many investors who have joined us as mentors and judges. How about you? Join the only Angel Network in the country focused on inclusion.
Mentors co-pilot our competitive selected startup founders, guiding them to proven resources to support their early scale, like angel capital, legal, biz dev, co-founders, and tech talent. Our Finalists continually say the mentorship experience is the highest value segment of our program.
Leading companies back inclusion by sponsoring Startup Runway. Sponsors are true partners, providing expertise and connections alongside capital to elevate underrepresented founders. Showcase your inclusion and innovation commitment. Join us.
Startup Runway is leading the way as the largest platform introducing underrepresented founders to their first check writers. Get involved with Startup Runway by mentoring a Startup during the Showcase, partnering as a corporate sponsor for an upcoming showcase, or by applying as a founder.
