About Us
Let us help you unlock your founder potential
We lead by example.
We developed Runway6 to solve the pain points we experienced ourselves, so you don't have to.
"I quit my job as a corporate lawyer to become a founder... while having a mortgage, 2 small kids and with a looming recession.
Am I extremely risk tolerant? Nope.
I was only able to do so because of the Runway6 framework that allowed me to raise capital and take a founder salary from day 1." - Amit, R6 Founder
The transition from a professional work setting to the startup ecosystem isn't easy, but Amit has seen it all.
On the professional side, Amit was a corporate lawyer at the law firm, Stikeman Elliott LLP, and then in the Capital Markets group at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, where he worked on countless transactions in corporate finance, m&a and general commercial law.
On the startup side, Amit was previously a Venture Partner at Loyal VC where he supported a global portfolio of founders. He's also currently a Director of the LegalTech Chapter of the Founder Institute, which is the world's largest Pre-seed Startup Accelerator. Prior to this, he founded a venture-backed startup, Yourika, and has now founded Runway6.
