Hey I am on Medialย โ€ขย 5m

When an investor asks for a number, start by crunching your monthly burn rate and determining how long your current cash will last. Factor in future hires, marketing spend, and R&D. For example, a company like Razorpay has to forecast costs around scaling their payment infrastructure and compliance expenses. Investors expect a solid runway planโ€”if youโ€™re burning โ‚น10 lakhs a month and want a 12-month runway, thatโ€™s โ‚น1.2 crores, plus a buffer. Itโ€™s not magic; itโ€™s good financial planning.
