Runway Overview
Runway computed from real burn, real revenue, and real obligations. Not a guess. Not a projection. Arithmetic from your confirmed data. True cash runway accounts for what you actually owe, not just what is in your bank account.
The problem
Runway is a number that changes every day, but most founders only calculate it once, in a spreadsheet, during fundraising prep. Between calculations, they're flying blind. They don't know if burn is creeping up, if runway is shortening faster than expected, or how last month compared to this month.
The solution
Runway Overview gives you the complete runway picture: your current number, burn composition, historical and projected cash balance, and a transposed actuals timeline so you can see exactly how your financial position has evolved month by month.
Burn Velocity
3-month averaged burn rate, not point-in-time. See whether burn is accelerating, steady, or decelerating. A single month of high burn might be an anomaly (you bought annual licenses in January). The 3-month average smooths outliers and shows the real trend. Color-coded monthly bars show which months were higher or lower than average.
Cash-Out Date
The exact month your cash reaches zero at current burn. Updated every time you open RunwayCal. Not a projection based on forecasted revenue or pipeline deals. Confirmed cash only. This is the conservative floor: the earliest you could run out if nothing changes. Any new revenue or cost cuts extend this date.
Fundraising Window
When to start fundraising conversations based on your runway. If your cash-out date is October and fundraising takes 4-6 months, you should start conversations in April. RunwayCal flags when you enter the fundraising window so you are not caught off guard. The Runway Health fuel gauge shows your position visually: green (comfortable), amber (start planning), red (act now).
