Runway is how many months your startup can operate before running out of cash, calculated as cash on hand divided by your net monthly burn rate (expenses minus revenue).
Burn rate is how much cash your startup spends each month. Net burn rate subtracts your monthly revenue from your monthly expenses — if revenue exceeds expenses, you're profitable and not burning cash at all.

Most advisors recommend keeping at least 12-18 months of runway at all times, so you have room to raise your next round or hit profitability without panic. Under 6 months is generally considered a danger zone.
Two levers: cut expenses (the fastest lever) or grow revenue (the more durable one). Either way, the biggest risk to runway is spending months building features or products nobody actually wants — validate before you build to protect your remaining cash.
Before committing more cash to a feature, pivot, or new product, check whether the underlying pain point is real. Our free Idea Validator checks your idea against actual complaints from Reddit, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers so you're not guessing with your remaining runway.
