About Runway Incubation
Runway's incubation is an 8–10 week blended programme. It helps a business idea become market-ready and investor-ready. Each startup is paired with a dedicated mentor, and the programme ends with a demo day in front of curated investors, advisors and industry leaders. Runway also runs follow-on support after the programme.
The homepage lists a pre-incubation cohort and a programme called Takeoff, but their registration windows have closed. The site says applications for the next cohort are open.
