Founded in New York in 2018, Runway develops generative AI tools and models tailored for audiovisual content creation and creative professionals. The company reports more than 50 million users worldwide and says its tools are used by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies. Runway has expanded internationally with a research and engineering hub in Paris, a European headquarters in London and a new office in Tokyo. It has raised multiple financing rounds, including a seed led by Amplify Partners, a 2023 Series C of about $141 million with investors such as Google and Nvidia, a Series D led by General Atlantic (with SoftBank, Nvidia and others), and a Series E earlier this year also led by General Atlantic. Runway is investing in training next-generation models that can understand and simulate physical environments and is initiating market engagement in Brazil through events and community outreach, including plans to bring its AI Film Festival to the country. The company emphasizes a product focus on professional creatives as a core competitive advantage.
