Guidance

Understanding Your Results

Your burn rate shows how quickly your business is consuming cash. A rising burn rate without corresponding revenue growth is a warning sign. Compare your burn rate against your total cash to calculate runway. Tracking burn rate month-over-month helps you spot trends early and make adjustments before cash becomes critically low.
