Abstract We consider a wide class of cascading gauge theories which usually lead to runaway behavior in the IR, and discuss possible deformations of the superpotential at the bottom of the cascade which stabilize the runaway direction and provide stable non‐supersymmetric vacua. The models we find may allow for a dual weakly coupled supergravity analysis of dynamical supersymmetric breaking.
