The Story
In 2018, Tim Copeland stepped away from his role as founder and CEO of a busy digital agency to solve the problem that was increasingly keeping him up at night: as you hire more people and take on bigger projects, resource and capacity planning becomes more unmanageable. Runn was born from the desire to create a smart, scalable, intuitive solution that helps businesses align people, projects, and strategy in one place.
The Numbers
Used in 100+ different countries worldwide
Nearly 50 million hours of work tracked in Runn
Team of 40+ spread across ten different countries
Founded in Wellington, now fully remote and global
Plot Twist
Think of it like a group project at school – you might have lots of good ideas, but you can't do everything at once. Businesses have the same problem! Runn helps them plan their time carefully and make sure everyone knows what they're working on.
The Good Stuff
They're big fans of flexibility – fully remote with flexible hours so their team can fit work around their needs. When they do meet up for regional co-working sessions, it's all about bringing that distributed energy together in person. They recently had a North America team meet-up in Toronto, and after talking shop they went to see a Blue Jays game!
From one founder's sleepless nights to 50 million tracked hours globally – these Wellington-born legends prove that the best solutions come from solving your own biggest headaches.
