Burn Rate Management for Founders
See where every dollar goes. Spot cost creep before it shortens your runway.
You know your burn rate matters but don't have a clear, continuously updated view. You need a breakdown of where money goes, trend detection for cost creep, and anomaly alerts — all connected to runway impact.
The challenge
Burn creeps up without warning
A new tool here, a contractor there, a forgotten subscription renewal. You've added $15K/month in burn without anyone noticing.
Know the total but not the breakdown
Your bank shows total outflow but doesn't tell you what's payroll vs tools vs commitments. You can't optimize what you can't see.
Cost changes don't connect to runway
You cancelled a $2K/month tool but have no idea how many months of runway that just bought you. Savings feel abstract.
