The number of months a company can sustain itself at its current rate of spending.
Why it matters
This is the most important number in startup management — it determines the latest time to start raising the next funding round.
What's missing without it
Without it, fundraising starts three months too late, putting you at a weaker negotiating position.
When it is used
In internal planning and discussions with investors.
How we use it
An 18-month runway: cash divided by monthly burn rate.
Fun fact
After a funding round, the goal is 18–24 months. Raising the next round typically takes 4–6 months, so with less than six months of runway, investors start to feel the pressure.
