Financial Services - Oakland, California, United States
RUNWAY is committed to advancing black resiliency for black business and the communities they serve by building emergent financial practices and infrastructure that close the racial wealth gap for good. We are a national initiative that works to repair the structural inequities of the racial wealth gap by providing entrepreneurs of color early stage "Friends & Family" funding and holistic business support that is the crucial foundation for business success and long term community wealth building. In partnership with investors, financial institutions, and the entrepreneurship ecosystem, we collaborate as an innovative means to bridge from the old economy of extraction to the next economy based on relationship and community regeneration. We are driven by the guiding principle that capital can be used to heal, repair and connect. This principle informs all aspects of our organizational culture; from our lending and credit processes with our entrepreneurs, to the interpersonal working relationships within our team. We aim to partner and seek community with our funders interested in disrupting dominant systems and norms, and co-creating new experiments while at the same time, upholding a culture of self-care and restoration that we deem necessary for true systemic action. We are a team of diverse, entrepreneurial Black women building an economy that centers healing, joy, culture, and collective wealth for Black people. We believe in bringing our whole selves to the work, and practice living our values of equity, racial healing. We are organized as a self-directed non-profit and are seeking entrepreneurial, energetic folks that enjoy dreaming & collaborating to build a more just economy.
