Runa was founded by two Brown University students and friends, Tyler Gage, ’08 and Dan MacCombie, ’04, after a soul-searching trip to the Amazon rainforest. Fueled with positive energy and with new-found purpose, the two returned to Ecuador a year later and built the world’s first supply chain for Guayusa and created a new way for more people to experience this unique feeling.
Runa was named one of Inc Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies in the US in 2015 and 2016. Read Tyler Gage’s profile in Forbes here.
