Burn is the numerator, $ raised or cash-in-the-bank is the denominator.

Would be really good to get a 2x2 grid of monthly burn x money raised for Series A companies. Or if that's too hard, a "Months the Series A will last at at current burn rate" bar chart.



We can definitely add a runway / months to exhaustion to our next analysis.


That would be good. Runway is one metric -- the one I'm most interested is "how long are you _planning_ the A to last for?"

If you raise eg $10M and you ramp burn to $400k monthly, the answer is 24 months. Regardless of where you are in those 24 months.


Sure, it might be interesting to compare rounds this way, on how long each round is planned to last.
