Is this startup runway-safe?
Estimate based on hiring velocity, headcount and funding date. Not a substitute for asking directly - a first-pass filter.
How to think about startup runway before you accept
A startup with less than 9 months of runway is materially riskier than one with 18+. Not automatically a no - fundraise timing, revenue growth and burn discipline all matter. But it means you should ask hard questions about the current fundraise plan and what happens if it slips.
This tool is a rough proxy. The only way to get a real answer is to ask the CEO directly during the offer stage: "How many months of runway at current burn, and what is your fundraise plan?" Any credible founder will answer straight.
