How long can your startup survive before you need more money?
What is this? Runway is how many months your startup can survive before running out of cash, given your current burn rate and revenue growth. It's the most critical number for any early-stage company.
The rule: Raise money when you have 12+ months of runway. Investors smell desperation when you're at 3 months. Every CFO's nightmare is a startup burning $50K/month with 4 months left.
Who it's for: Startup founders, CFOs, and investors evaluating burn rate and fundraising timing.
