Runway.
Where Jacksonville takes off.
with Dave Eyerly
About the show
Every company on The Record was once three people and a bet. This show sits down with Jacksonville’s founders while the bet is still live.
The Record covers who is growing. Runway covers who is next. Founders at the earliest, riskiest stage walk through the idea, the first money, the first customers, and the months of runway between them and proof. Recorded down the hall from where the companies get built.
