Keith Rabois: โI tell founders not to worry about runway. Worry about lift.โ Runway (money/time left) is just a tool to achieve lift (traction & growth). But if extra runway doesnโt help you hit traction, itโs useless. Donโt raise funds just to โsurvive for 2 years.โ Instead, focus on what milestones will prove your startup is taking off. Work backwards: raise funds to tackle the biggest risk or achieve the next major inflection point. And donโt panic if your runway is running lowโas long as youโre nearing traction (e.g., hitting viral growth). Investors will notice and back you. Itโs all about showing youโre flying, not just surviving. โ Inspired by Keith Rabois advice at Khosla Ventures & Founders Fund.
