Why founders use Runner
It runs multiple things at once
Not one task at a time. Runner drafts follow-ups while pulling analytics while updating your CRM. Everything in parallel, with receipts and timestamps for each step. You see the work happening, not just the result.It works across local and cloud
Files on your machine, apps in the cloud, browser-based tools with no API. Runner handles all of it. Manages workflows wherever your stuff actually lives. Your data stays yours.It remembers across sessions
Tell Runner your preferences once. How you like emails drafted, who your VIPs are, what your board meeting cadence looks like. It remembers and applies them every time. Context that compounds over time instead of resetting every conversation.It runs on a schedule
Set a workflow once and it repeats. Morning briefing at 7:30am, every weekday, before your first meeting. Follow-up tracker at 5pm. Weekly recap on Friday. No asking required.What Runner does for founders
Morning briefing
Start the day with signal, not scramble. Runner checks your inbox, calendar, Slack, and tasks. Then gives you a ranked brief of what actually matters before your first meeting.“Give me my morning briefing: priority emails, today’s meetings with prep notes, anything blocked on Slack, and tasks that are due.”
Board meeting prep
Stop rebuilding board context by hand. Runner finds the meeting on your calendar, pulls notes from past board meetings, reads recent investor emails, and drafts a prep doc with talking points.“My board meeting is Thursday. Pull last quarter’s board notes, any investor emails from the last month, and the latest metrics. Draft prep materials with talking points.”The board meeting gets prepped from real context instead of memory and scramble.
Inbox follow-through
Instead of staring at your inbox trying to decide what to answer first, let Runner do the sorting. It reads the thread, checks your calendar, pulls the right docs, and drafts the reply.“Review my priority inbox threads. Draft replies for anything that needs a response. Check my calendar before suggesting any meeting times.”
Investor updates
Turn scattered notes into a polished update. Runner pulls from your docs, email, and project tracker to draft the update so you’re not starting from a blank page. Key metrics like ARR, growth, and runway. Pulled from your actual docs instead of typed from memory.“Draft this month’s investor update. Pull key metrics from the last board notes, recent product milestones from Linear, and any hiring updates from email.”
Meeting prep and research
Walking into a meeting cold is a founder mistake you don’t need to make. Runner researches the company, looks up every attendee, checks your email history with them, and builds a brief with talking points.“Research Charlie Feng, CEO at Agora. We’re meeting tomorrow about a partnership. Give me the full brief.”
Follow-up tracking
Decisions mean nothing if the follow-through doesn’t happen. Runner tracks what you’ve sent, who hasn’t replied, and what’s gone stale.“What emails and Slack messages have I sent in the last week that haven’t gotten a reply? List them with how long each has been waiting.”
Sales prospecting
Find your next customer without spending hours on research. Runner finds companies matching your ICP, identifies the decision-makers, gets verified contact info, and drafts personalized outreach.“Find Series A fintech companies in the Bay Area with 50-200 employees. I want to reach their VP of Sales.”
