Frequently Asked Questions
What is burn rate?
Burn rate is the rate at which a company spends its cash reserves, typically measured monthly. Net burn rate is total cash out minus any revenue coming in.
What is considered a safe runway?
Most startup advisors recommend maintaining at least 12-18 months of runway, giving enough time to hit milestones and raise a follow-on round before cash runs critically low.
How can I extend my runway?
You can extend runway by reducing monthly burn (cutting costs, slowing hiring), increasing revenue, or raising additional capital — ideally a mix of the first two before relying on the third.
