What you actually get

Bootstrapped

Track the path to default alive, the revenue target, and the biggest cost you can safely carry.

Angel or accelerator-backed

Put each cheque in the month it arrives and see how long it buys you to reach the next proof point.

Venture-backed

Model the hiring plan, next round, and funded-through date against the same runway.

Still founder-run

Ask the AI agent in Slack and keep the supporting files ready for your accountant.

The founder question

Can we afford this? Answered with the tradeoff.

Before you sign the contract or make the offer, ask Runwait. See runway before and after, then inspect the assumptions and basis behind the answer.

Runway

One runway the whole business agrees on.

Cash, revenue, team costs, funding, and plans live in one model, so the number changes when the business changes.

Best fit

Runwait fits companies where the founder still owns runway, hiring and funding decisions, and the accountant handoff because a full finance team does not make sense yet.

Real burn

The company has recurring costs and a cash number that changes the plan.

Active decisions

A hire, spend, or raise needs a defensible answer before commitment.

Founder-owned finance

The founder still owns the model and the money questions, even when teammates help.

Bring one real decision.

Bring the hire, spend, or raise you are considering. See the tradeoff before you commit.
