United States Startup Closed
WHAT IT IS
Runway was founded in 2018 and provides video generation and editing tools. It began with AI tools for video matting and editing, then turned to text-to-video and image-to-video with the Gen family.
Why it matters
It was early to build generative video into a full creator toolchain, taking video generation from demos to an editable workflow.
