Frequently Asked Questions
Why might a bootstrapped startup have longer relative runway?
Lower absolute cash but much lower burn can sometimes produce comparable or longer runway than a heavily funded, high-spend startup.
Does more funding always mean more risk?
Not inherently, but higher burn rates raise the stakes of hitting growth milestones before the next fundraising round or profitability.
