The question every founder should answer weekly

Before strategy, before marketing, there is runway: how long can the business keep going on the cash it has? The calculator below answers it, and shows whether growth gets you to break-even before the money runs out.

How to extend your runway

1. Cut what doesn’t compound. Review every recurring expense; keep what drives revenue.
2. Collect faster. Shorter payment terms and deposits turn sales into cash sooner.
3. Raise prices thoughtfully. A small price increase often does more than a large cost cut.
4. Know your number. Recalculate runway every month and act early, not late.
