👋 Hey, Product Hunt community! I’m Siqi, founder of Runway, and I’m thrilled to share our product with you. We’ve been in early access till now — working closely with customers like AngelList, ConvertKit, and Superhuman — to find the best way to make business understandable to everyone. We’re now ready to share our answer with the whole world: a platform that connects your data, business context, and narrative — to deliver a holistic understanding to everyone at your company. Your entire team can use Runway to play with your model, and see how it actually works. We’ve made a video to show you a demo, and tell you exactly why we’re here. You’ll also hear real stories of struggles that finance leaders face everyday: https://runway.com/launch I hope you watch it — our team put the same care into making this video that we’ve put into building our product. Ask us anything!

@siqichen Wow, this is incredible! Hands down, this is the best product launched today for me! I loved how the website creates a journey like a runway, and the storytelling part is done quite well. Hats off, man! Kudos to the whole team! Excellent work, and best of luck!

@siqichen this is awesome - I've been hearing great things about Runway and the video did not disappoint. In particular I love how easy it is to perturb the model and test counterfactuals! In a way, it reminds me of a much more built-out tool for what I've used https://www.producthunt.com/prod... for (spreadsheet with monte carlo simulations). How are you approaching onboarding? given there are so many new interactions? How are you winning people over from Excel?

Incredible work! Super clean and intuitive interface, resembles Notion a bit but even better with the visualization for managing finance. Good luck!
Siqi Chen
@kehui_guo Notion is one of the inspirations for why I think Runway was even possible.
Sharath Kuruganty
I just saw the demo video on Twitter, and it made me feel comfortable(not a finance guy) with finance and numbers. Great work team.
Brandon Penn
@5harath thank you!

A Finance app's design does not need to go this hard 😭 In a world drowning in analytic and data apps, this is a really fresh take. Love that Runway is tackling one of the largest pain points I've experienced, context and connection, to financial data. Congrats on the launch @siqichen!
Siqi Chen
@gabe Thanks gabe, very kind of you! Glad you enjoyed the amazing work from our design team.
Luke Zapart

Congrats on the launch! Love the scenario planning feature. Being able to reverse engineer/retro plan is a key asset. 😎
Siqi Chen
@norra Thanks Arron! Glad you liked it!
Scott Davis
Siqi! So great to see this open to the world! I remember when you mentioned this as an "idea" a few years ago. Glad to see that this is a real thing. Can't wait to see the product evolve!
Siqi Chen
@the_scott_davis Probably like 4 years ago haha. It's taken way too long.

Congratulations on the launch! You certainly have a very cool looking website. Great design and overall concept. However, since it's so unconventional that I am kind of lost and not being able to fully understand what your product/service specifically is. I think that can be one area you would like to improve on.
Siqi Chen
@naomigarcia Thank you, that's very helpful feedback.
Chris Gadek
insanely cool product. worth checking out
Siqi Chen
@dappermarketer Thanks for all your support as a customer over the years Chris.

Can multiple team members access and edit financial models within Runway? Collaboration features for finance departments would be a valuable addition, allowing for centralized planning and real-time update
Siqi Chen
@jonahmuye Yes, absolutely - collaboration is a core value proposition.. We have very fine grained sharing and permissions to enable this. For example, you can flick a switch to hide a single column like Salaries but let your team see everythign else.

Best launch trailer! After almost a decade in FP&A, being pitched by countless startups for sparkling new FP&A tools, this feels so surreal. This can easily save tens of hours of grunt work per week for the entire Finance department, as much of our time has been spent reconciling different versions -aka finding out who touched the models, which versions, and why.
