Why Runaway exists
Thinking today about your savings, investments, and the life you want to build is an opportunity. It helps you step back, understand what may be possible, and plan the future with greater clarity.
After trying several financial-planning tools, I kept finding the same compromise: some were expensive, while others did not go far enough in their projections or customization. Runaway grew out of that gap.
An independent product
Runaway is built by a developer with eight years of experience in the software industry, primarily in front-end development.
I have long cared about investing, financial independence, and the way today’s decisions can influence tomorrow’s freedom. I built Runaway to bring together what I was looking for elsewhere: an accessible experience, editable assumptions, detailed projections, and a clear view of what happens behind the numbers.
A mission designed across borders
I wanted to create a tool that can represent modern, diversified wealth across stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, cash, and other assets, without forcing people to split their plan across several applications.
As a French-Canadian, it mattered to me that Runaway reflect the realities of both France and Canada, including their currencies, account types, and tax considerations. The United States is supported as well because its markets and investing practices play a major role in financial planning.
Runaway is developed independently with care, conviction, and love. My ambition is to build the tool I wish I had found: comprehensive without being inaccessible, rigorous without being intimidating, and genuinely useful to people planning their future.
