Run Funds Shuts Down

Run.fund Founder Erik Peterson on Instagram:

The Run.fund payment infrastructure has been shut down by Stripe. No reasons were given, multiple appeals were filed, and it is final. We are dead AF.

A short-lived, vibe coded platform with a good idea but some glaring policy issues in the background – hello money laundering possibilities. But Erik’s not giving up. He loves the sport and knows how to code:

I’m always looking for more projects to lift up the running community I love, so please reach out if you’ve got any ideas or you want to get down and jam on something new.

Maybe this can be an invitation to some of the bigger players in our sport to engage and partner with folks like Erik who genuinely want to contribute and not just ignore the emails and then copy the ideas later.
