Runway is instrumental – empowering Geelong’s clever and creative community to start, pivot and grow their businesses. Together we’ve created new jobs and growth adding $16m in output to the local economy annually, an additional $145m in revenue to the state, and more than 430 new jobs across Victoria.

I loved being a part of the Runway accelerator. I learnt so much and gained real confidence working with the facilitators and the other startups. My work with Runway has helped me close more than $1.25 million worth of investment so far.

RunwayHQ provides the perfect environment to explore, develop and challenge your big idea. As a result, Trusted Food Group has closed a landing pad deal with the Nanjing Government, China.

I absolutely loved my experience at Runway. The program was focused and very helpful to refine our business model. The connections I made helped my startup secure overseas investors and access to new markets.

As a graduate of Runway’s Startup Incubator program in 2019, Solar Monitoring’s client base has now grown substantially. As part of the Runway community, I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.

Runway helped me identify what was missing in my startup and how to move the business forward. I met some fantastic people with diverse backgrounds and skills, which gave me a great opportunity to learn from others rather than trying to figure it all out on my own.

Being part of the Runway co-working space broadens our community. It’s an amazing way to connect with a diverse range of businesses, start-ups and individuals.

Runway gave our team the impetus and framework to take an idea and transform it into a tangible commercial reality. The co-working space provides a collaborative and supportive environment, helping to keep down the cost of starting a business.

The Runway Incubator program was an amazing experience. Working with other startups and the program facilitators really educated me on the possibilities of business. Being part of a co-working community also really helped keep my business on track and energised.

We moved our office-based staff into Runway to take advantage of the amenities, the open spaces and meeting rooms – and overall, really great working environment. The networking opportunities and business relationships we’ve developed are a real bonus too.

Being part of Runway is more than a place to put your computer down; it’s great for the soul and for your sanity.
