Meet the founders
building real businesses.

Runway is where founders get investor-ready before a raise, and log in before every investor meeting. Become a partner to publish offers to that audience, or embed Runway in your own platform with our API, webhooks, and SSO.

Free for partners · Admin approval typically 1–2 business days

Publish perks & offers

Founder pricing, free credits, intro consultations, listed on the in-app marketplace seen by every Runway founder.

See who claimed

Every claim drops into your dashboard with the startup's name, stage, and contact (when the founder opts in to share).

Track conversion

Claim → contacted → converted funnel built in. Know which offers actually drive customers.

Tech partner

Integrate Runway into your platform

Self-serve API requests

Submit an integration request from your partner dashboard. Pick the scopes you need (signup, metrics, webhooks, SSO embed). Admin-reviewed.

Signed webhooks

Get HMAC-SHA256 signed events when a founder you referred completes onboarding, upgrades, or shares their data room.

Bucketed metrics

Read MRR bands, growth bands, runway bands, profitability flags, no raw cash figures, founder consent baked in.

SSO embed

Iframe Runway inside your own platform. Mint short-lived SSO tokens so a referred founder lands logged in.

How it works

1

Sign up as a Partner

Pick "Partner" on /signup, enter your organisation, and confirm your email. Account stays in review until an admin approves you (usually 1–2 business days).

2

Set up your profile

Once approved, log in to your Partner dashboard. Add a logo, description, and the perks you want listed on the marketplace.

3

Optionally request API access

If you want to integrate programmatically, submit an API request from the Integration tab with your scopes and webhook URL. Admin reviews and mints a key.

4

Get leads & insights

See perk claims, referred founders, and (with consent) bucketed traction metrics, all in one dashboard.

Founders control what you see

Runway is founder-first. Partners see only what each founder has explicitly opted to share.

Buckets, not raw numbers

Metrics API returns MRR bands and runway buckets, no exact cash positions.

Emails redacted by default

Founder emails come back as f***r@example.com unless an admin grants raw-PII scope.

Consent for everything

Founders grant data-room access tier-by-tier. Every view is logged.

Partnering with Runway: common questions

Who should become a Runway partner?

Anyone whose business reaches early-stage startups: lenders and revenue-based financiers, banks, CA and legal firms, insurance and payroll providers, cloud and SaaS vendors, and platforms that want to embed Runway in their own product.

What do partners actually get?

A listing in the in-app marketplace that founders browse, and the leads that come from it: who claimed your offer, their stage and sector, and whether the claim converted. Technology partners additionally get API access, signed webhooks and SSO embedding.

How much does it cost?

Joining and publishing an offer is free, and admin review usually takes one to two business days. Paid placement and API access are priced per programme, so talk to us about what you need.

What data do partners see about a startup?

Only what the founder consents to share when they claim an offer or request capital. Bucketed metrics, never raw financials, and never without the founder acting first.

Can I embed Runway in my own platform?

Yes. A partner API key with the SSO scope mints a one-time link that signs your user into Runway inside an iframe or a new tab, with no second login. Your allowed origins are allowlisted before it works.
