Our take

Runway sets out to make financial planning simpler for businesses, with a platform that replaces tedious spreadsheets and dispersed data with modern modelling and planning tools. Through its various functions, users can automate the updating of their forecasts with new data, connect their numbers to business context, and answer "what if" scenarios with the help of an AI co-pilot, as well as much more.

With its easy-to-implement and easy-to-understand approach, Runway is a promising proposition for businesses who want to ensure all their teams can understand and act aligned with their key goals. The company has seen significant funding that will support it in its development, with a real chance to capture new clientele as demand for this sort of product is only set to rise.
