Runn is a cloud-based resource and project management software platform designed to help service-based organizations plan, track, and forecast work in real time. It provides a centralized solution for managing people, projects, and financials, enabling teams to optimize resource allocation, improve project delivery, and enhance profitability. Runn is particularly popular among digital agencies, consultancies, and professional services firms that require dynamic and scalable planning tools.
Runn was founded in 2018 in Wellington, New Zealand, by Tim Copeland (CEO), Felipe Skroski, and Nicole T. The company was born out of the founders’ frustration with traditional spreadsheets and disjointed tools that made resource planning inefficient and error-prone. Their vision was to create a platform that centers around people, not just projects, and helps organizations make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Since its inception, Runn has grown steadily, with a remote-first team distributed across four continents. As of 2025, the company has a team of 63 employees and serves over 500 customers in 100+ countries, with more than 35 million hours logged, 28,000+ projects planned, and 20,000+ resource allocations made.
Runn has raised a total of $1.41 million in funding, primarily through a Seed round in December 2021, led by Global From Day One, with participation from Icehouse Ventures, New Zealand Growth Capital Partners, and other angel investors. The company has also received grants in earlier stages of its development.
In 2024, Runn secured a Later Stage VC round, signaling its transition into a more mature growth phase. While the exact post-money valuation has not been publicly disclosed, the company is generating revenue and has attracted interest from multiple venture capital firms. In 2025, Runn reported $6.9 million in annual revenue, reflecting consistent growth and increasing market adoption.
