Key Insights
- Runway = starting cash − upfront costs, then monthly net burn. Increasing revenue growth or reducing fixed costs extends runway.
- Break-even is the first modeled month when revenue covers both fixed and variable costs.
- Scenario testing: tweak growth, fixed cost, and variable % to plan funding needs and hiring pace.
