As we close out 2024, I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved at Startup Runway. From joining Office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott on a delegation to India, to launching joint missions with Frisco Economic Development Corporation and McKinney Economic Development Corporation in January and City of Richardson Texas and Ryan in July, we engaged with over 700 companies and secured 30+ MoUs to foster global innovation. In September, we established our base at the IQHQ in Richardson, and in just three months, we successfully launched 12 international companies. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my team, our partners, and well-wishers. Special thanks to the City of Richardson Texas, The University of Texas at Dallas, and COSTEP for their partnership. This is just the beginning of our journey to empower entrepreneurs and build impactful ecosystems worldwide. Here’s to an even brighter 2025!
