Valuation
When founder Dena Lewis faced two separate assaults while out on a run, she realized two things: one, that safety on the road isn’t a given for women; and two, that millions of other women feel the same vulnerability every time they lace up. Running Mate was born from that moment — a run-share platform built by women, for women, connecting verified and compensated running partners to create safer, stronger, more confident running experiences.
Today, Running Mate is more than an app — it’s a movement to end violence against women runners, build community, and open up the freedom of the run. Investing in Running Mate means supporting safety, community, empowerment and a high-growth opportunity.
