Most people assume startup profits must come only from core operations. But here’s a reality many founders overlook. I recently learned about a startup that was barely profitable from its main business—but still showed strong overall profits. The reason? Treasury income. A significant portion came from fixed deposits and low-risk instruments on idle cash. This is an underrated lesson for early-stage founders: capital management is as important as product and growth. As your company scales, parked funds can generate meaningful, stable returns through FDs, T-bills, or liquid funds. These “non-operating” returns won’t replace your business model—but they can act as a financial cushion during downturns, burn phases, or slow growth cycles. Building a startup isn’t just about revenue. It’s also about how intelligently you manage the cash you already have.
