Runway Best Practices
18+ Months is Ideal
Most VCs want to see at least 18 months of runway after their investment. Fundraising takes 3-6 months on average.
Start Raising at 6+ Months
Don't wait until you're desperate. Start conversations when you have 6+ months of runway left.
Track Net Burn, Not Gross
Net burn (expenses minus revenue) gives a more accurate picture than just looking at expenses.
Plan for Surprises
Add a 20% buffer to your burn rate estimate. Unexpected costs always come up.
