Meet the RunSignup Team
The RunSignup team is spread across the U.S., with employees spanning from Florida to New Jersey to Colorado and California. Despite the physical distances, the foundation of the company is shared values around work and growth.
Employee-Owned
As an employee-owned company, RunSignup makes strategic, long-term decisions. This means keeping employees for many years, building better software and supporting customers continuously.
Open
The RunSignup strategy of openness means we are transparent and open about our business practices and capabilities, providing an open platform with an open RunSignup API.
Continuous Improvement
RunSignup products are forever moving forward, with an emphasis on finding good solutions instead of perfect ones. This allows us to collect feedback and advance the platform iteratively.
Product Led
RunSignup’s focus is on our product (technology), not on selling to you. We want to make purpose-built technology to support our customers and the events that you create.
Setting the Tone
Leadership
RunSignup was founded by current CEO, Bob Bickel in 2010. Today, Bob and the rest of the leadership team set product priorities and workplace culture for the company. In keeping with RunSignup’s core values of openness, leadership regularly provides customers with transparent information about the company and the industry through seasonal reports and Founders Corner blogs.

Sales and Marketing
