About Runway HQ
Runway HQ is a Geelong based organisation that exists to help entrepreneurs in regional locations and create sustainable start-up ecosystems.
Having founded and run successful regional startups themselves, Founders Nick Stanley and Peter Dostis witnessed the difference that quality mentoring, access to capital and access to networks made on the relative success of startups. After researching successful ecosystems globally, they identified that while physical incubators and accelerators are a critical component, there were more “must have” ingredients to make successful regional ecosystems perform.
