RUNWAY is a financial innovation firm committed to dismantling systemic barriers and reimagining financial policies and practices–all in the name of Black liberation. Our work helps build Black community wealth through early-stage "Friends & Family" funding, holistic support, and innovative financial products. We are committed to advancing resiliency for Black businesses and the communities they serve by building emergent financial practices & infrastructure that close the racial wealth gap for good. In partnership with investors, financial institutions, and the entrepreneurship ecosystem, we collaborate as an innovative means to bridge the old economy of extraction to the next economy based on relationship and community regeneration. We are driven by the guiding principle that capital can be used to heal, repair and connect. This principle informs all aspects of our organizational culture; from our lending and credit processes with our entrepreneurs to the interpersonal working relationships within our team. We aim to partner and seek community with funders who are interested in disrupting dominant systems and norms, and co-creating new experiments while upholding a culture of self-care and restoration. We are a team of diverse, entrepreneurial Black women building an economy that centers healing, joy, culture, and collective wealth for Black people. We believe in bringing our whole selves to work, and practice living our values of equity, justice, and healing. We are organized as a self-directed non-profit and are seeking entrepreneurial, energetic folks that enjoy dreaming & collaborating to build a more just economy.
