Other way around.
That's why aircraft tend to take off into wind.
Mr Angry. I've re-read my post (copied below) and will stick by it! If the wind is from behind my Ground Speed is IAS + wind (higher). Therefore ground run is longer and I will use more runway.

Tailwind takeoff = same IAS, higher GS. Therefore more runway.
