Understanding Your Burn Rate
Burn Rate is the speed at which a new company or division uses up its venture capital (or internal funding) to finance overhead before generating positive cash flow from operations. It's a measure of negative cash flow.
By keeping a close eye on your Runway, agile leaders can make strategic decisions early. If you only have 3 months of runway left, it is too late to pivot or hire. You must either drastically cut the burn rate immediately, or focus 100% of effort on securing new funding or revenue.
