Keith Rabois: “I tell founders not to worry about runway. Worry about lift.” Runway (money/time left) is just a tool to achieve lift (traction & growth). But if extra runway doesn’t help you hit traction, it’s useless. Don’t raise funds just to “survive for 2 years.” 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 don’t panic if your runway is running low—as long as you’re nearing traction (e.g., hitting viral growth). Investors will notice and back you. It’s all about showing you’re flying, not just surviving. – Inspired by Keith Rabois advice at Khosla Ventures & Founders Fund.
