Burn Rate vs Runway โ Know Before You Run Out Itโs easy to raise funding and feel like youโve got time. But founders often forget how quickly money disappears. Burn rate and runway tell you how long your startup can actually survive. Breakdown: 1๏ธโฃ Burn Rate is how much money you're losing per month. If you're spending โน20L/month and earning โน5L, your burn rate is โน15L. 2๏ธโฃ Runway is how many months you can last at your current burn rate. If you have โน1.5Cr in the bank and burn โน15L/month, you have 10 months of runway. 3๏ธโฃ Gross vs Net Burn: Gross burn = total monthly expenses Net burn = gross burn minus any revenue Why founders slip up: โ They raise โน3Cr and think theyโre set for 2 years. โ But hiring, marketing, and ops eat up โน30L/month. โ Without realizing, they have less than a year left. Quick tip: Every time you hire or scale, re-calculate runway. Itโs not a one-time number. Lesson: Donโt just check your bank balance. Track how fast itโs falling. ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ฟ๐ป. ๐ฅ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ.
