What it does
If you don't know exactly how many months of operation your current cash balance covers, you're flying your startup blind. When money runs out unexpectedly, decisions become reactive emergencies—and emergencies don't align with strategy. This prompt calculates your runway with precision, accounting for revenues, fixed expenses, and variable costs, and shows the month your cash depletes under optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic scenarios. Use it when deciding whether it's time to raise capital, when planning hiring timelines, or when determining how much time you have to reach breakeven before funds run dry.
