Template
Analyze runway for the startup described in {startup_context}. Follow the sequence: (1) Compute gross burn (total monthly cash out) and net burn (gross burn minus monthly revenue) from the figures provided, showing both because they diverge as revenue grows. (2) Divide current cash of {cash_balance} by net burn for naive runway in months. (3) Refine: adjust for known lumpy items — annual contracts, tax payments, planned hires — and restate runway with a month-by-month view where these land. (4) Model revenue growth continuing at the stated rate and recompute the month cash-out actually occurs, since growing revenue extends runway nonlinearly. (5) Compare runway against the typical 6–9 months needed to raise a round, and state the fundraise-start deadline. (6) If runway is short, list cost levers by savings size and reversibility before recommending any cuts.
