Managing Your Burn Rate

Your burn rate is used to determine how quickly you will deplete your startup capital before becoming cash flow positive or requiring addition funding. It is one of the key financial KPIs to monitor for a startup.

When it boils down to it, cash is king. How much fiat and stable coins you have until you break even or move to a cash positive position is critical.

Running out of runway can be fatal for your project. At the very least a short runway weakens your bargaining position when negotiating terms with potential investors.

Understanding and monitoring your runway allows you to prepare appropriately for your next fundraising round and also helps keep your team accountable for operational expenditure.

As the saying goes... what gets measured gets done.

We do the measuring. You keep on building.
