Work that's actually
worth your time.
We connect experienced finance, ops, and GTM professionals — fractional or full-time — with high-growth Seed-to-Series-B tech startups that need real help. We handle the matching so you can focus on the work.
We work with
seasoned professionals
Senior operating experience
You have held a key finance, operations, or GTM title at a venture-backed company.
Fundraising or scaling experience
You have meaningful experience with pre- or post-fundraising events, and scaling a finance, ops, or GTM function through rapid growth.
Interest in a new engagement
You have bandwidth to take on new work, whether that be part-time, project-based, or full-time.
Collaborative and communicative
You thrive working directly with founders and can operate without a large team underneath you.
Why finance, ops, and GTM talent
work with Runway Partners
Quality over quantity
Every startup we present is prescreened, vetted, and thoughtfully shared. You decide whether it's worth your time before any introductory call is made.
Serious companies
We work with funded tech startups that have real capital, real investors, and are looking for truly talented individuals to grow with.
A Network
Being part of the Runway Partners network means referrals, peer introductions, and visibility with founders and investors beyond just active placements.
Joining the
network
We don't make our intake process unnecessarily arduous. We want to understand your background, qualifications, and preferences — not put you through a 10-step application.
Introduction
Send us a brief note or schedule an initial call so that we can see if we might be a fit.
Vetting call
We'll have a more focused conversation to review your experience, availability, and background to confirm you're the right fit before bringing you into the network.
Join the network
If we're a mutual fit, you'll be added to our active talent network and notified when relevant opportunities arise.
Get matched
When we have a startup that fits your profile, we'll brief you and make the introduction — no cold applications.
