The Problem

Startup founders check runway monthly or quarterly — but daily spending determines survival. Excel runway models are outdated the day they're built. Board meetings require manual financial preparation. When runway drops below 6 months, it's often too late to act. 29% of startups fail because they run out of cash.

The Solution

Live runway dashboard connected to bank accounts showing daily-updated burn rate, net burn vs gross burn, runway in weeks, and scenario modeling for hiring, fundraising, and cuts — keeping founders ahead of cash crises.

Target Audience

Seed and Series A startup founders tracking burn rate, VC-backed companies reporting runway to their board, and accelerator cohorts needing standardized financial tracking
