How long the money lasts
Runway is the number that decides whether you negotiate from strength or from need. It is also the one founders check too late.

“Start raising” works backwards from the end of your runway, leaving six months. A raise takes longer than founders plan for and slows the business while it runs.

Why it says start earlier than you think
A raise takes months from the first meeting to money in the account, and the process itself slows the business while it runs. So the useful question is not how long your cash lasts, it is how long until you must already be raising.
This works backwards from the end of your runway and leaves six months. Start with less than that and you are negotiating from weakness, which experienced investors can read in the terms you accept.
State which burn you mean
Net burn is cash out minus cash in. Gross burn ignores revenue entirely. An investor who assumes net when you meant gross will work out a longer runway than you actually have. This tool uses net, because that is the honest one.
