Today we're also introducing the Runway Fund, an investment vehicle dedicated to backing the next generation of companies building across AI, media and world simulation. For the past several years, we've been investing quietly with this fund, backing a range of companies, including Cartesia, LanceDB and Tamarind Bio. We're excited to formalize this work as part of our commitment to early-stage startups. If you're building something in this space, we want to hear from you.

About us
We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached. https://runwayml.com/world-simulator
