How do you know your burn rate before investors ask?

by

On Round Funded the burn rate calculator turns cash on hand, monthly revenue, and monthly expenses into the burn number investors ask for, so you are not guessing from last quarter's P&L.

Burn is not a vibe. Most founders get it wrong.

  1. Cash is the bank balance today, not the round you hope closes

  2. 2. Expenses are last month's real spend, not the budget slide

  3. 3. Subtract revenue. Net burn drains the bank; gross is the stress test

  4. 4. Say that number before they ask. Then divide cash by net burn for months left

That is the whole job. Burn as a number, not a scramble on the call.
