Runway Growth Capital, a provider of growth loans to venture and non-venture-backed companies seeking an alternative to raising equity, was included in Inc. Magazine’s 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors list. This marks the third consecutive year Runway has been selected to appear on the list.
“Raising capital is no small feat for today’s entrepreneurs. That’s why discovering investors who offer more than just financial backing — those who bring mentorship, resources and a true spirit of partnership to your growth journey — is both rare and invaluable,” Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc., said. “The 2025 Founder-Friendly Investors are collaborators and dedicated to helping their portfolio companies succeed.”
The distinguished list recognizes investors who actively support founder-led businesses and play a meaningful role in their success.
“Earning a place on Inc.’s Founder-Friendly Investors list for the third year in a row underscores the trust we’ve built with founders who want to scale their businesses without giving up ownership,” David Spreng, founder and CEO of Runway Growth Capital, said. “We are committed to being long-term partners that offer flexible capital, honest guidance and the freedom for founders to stay in control.”
