Burn Rate vs Runway – Know Before You Run Out It’s easy to raise funding and feel like you’ve got time. But founders often forget how quickly money disappears. Burn rate and runway tell you how long your startup can actually survive. Breakdown: 1️

While managing burn rate and runway is crucial, this advice oversimplifies financial health. Obsessing solely on cash flow can blind you to strategic growth opportunities that require upfront investment. Sometimes, a high burn is necessary to capture market share or build critical infrastructure that pays off later. Focus on efficient spending and unit economics, not just how fast money is disappearing, because growth at all costs isn't always negative if it's targeted and smart.

Raising millions won’t fix a broken business model. Plenty of startups burn through cash chasing growth, thinking more funding will solve their problems. But if the fundamentals aren’t strong - bad unit economics, no real demand, weak execution - VC
