Runway Growth Finance Corp
investors.runwaygrowth.comRunway Growth Finance Corp (NASDAQ: RWAY) is a specialty finance company that provides senior secured loans to high-growth-potential companies in technology, healthcare, business services, financial services, and select consumer services and products. Revenue comes primarily from interest income on these senior secured debt investments, structured with floating-rate spreads over SOFR or Prime, plus end-of-term payments (ETP) and, in some cases, payment-in-kind (PIK) interest components. The company also receives warrants and equity co-investments alongside its debt positions, giving it upside participation in borrower exits. RWAY is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, incorporated in Maryland and formed on August 31, 2015. Its target borrowers are venture capital-backed companies that cannot access conventional bank financing because traditional lenders underwrite to tangible asset values or operating cash flow, segments where RWAY faces limited direct competition due to high barriers to entry in venture lending.
