Skin in the Game

Runtime was built around a simple principle: alignment should be real.

We did not want to build an investment firm whose main economic engine was collecting fees and maximizing AUM. We wanted to build a system where we could invest increasingly larger amounts of our own capital alongside our LPs, in the owner-operator spirit of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger at Berkshire Hathaway.

Today, approximately 90% of Raed and my own net worth is invested in Runtime. Our intention is for that alignment to remain permanent.

This is not abstract capital to us. It is our own money. It is our family's future, our children's future, and the capital base we live with every day.

Before Runtime, we heard many pitches from wealth managers and fund managers. Many were smart. Many managed large pools of capital. But too often, they were not investing a meaningful share of their own net worth beside their clients.

Raed and I wanted to fix that broken alignment.

Runtime was designed so the builder, the decision maker, and the LPs live with the same outcomes. That is what skin in the game means to us.
