Runway Venture Partners

Runway Venture Partners is a New York City-based early stage venture capital firm focused on investing in post-Seed software-enabled businesses under the broad umbrella of commerce tech. Commerce encompasses everything that results in a transaction, be it the transfer of information, services or physical goods. We think of commerce tech as technologies that improve the efficiency and relevancy of the interaction between buyers and sellers and make the process of value exchange more frictionless and active. Runway invests in companies that have put Seed capital to good use and demonstrated visionary entrepreneurial leadership, clear product market fit and strong growth rates. Our goal is to back industry leaders and help build them into giant companies, starting with a mini-A injection of capital to steepen their growth trajectory now. We prefer to lead rounds of $2-$3 million with an average investment of $1 million, but may invest less or more as circumstances warrant.
