About Runway Growth Finance
Runway Growth Finance Corp. is an externally managed, closed-end investment firm operating as a business development company. The firm specializes in providing growth financing, primarily senior secured term loans and hybrid debt and equity financing, accompanied by warrants or other equity positions. It originates investments across two core operating strategies: sponsored growth lending, which finances venture capital and private equity-backed enterprises, and non-sponsored growth lending, which serves founder-owned or direct-funded private firms. The company serves late-stage and growth-stage portfolio companies operating across technology, healthcare, business services, financial services, and select consumer markets.
The company conducts business through physical offices located in Chicago, Illinois; Menlo Park, California; and New York, New York. Its lending operations primarily target growth-oriented enterprises within the broader North American venture and credit markets. While the provided text does not identify a single primary corporate headquarters, the firm coordinates and manages its operational presence across its three primary regional office hubs.
