What is a Cash Runway?

Cash runway refers to the length of time a company can continue operating before it runs out of cash, based on its current rate of expenditure and available cash reserves.

For example, a startup with $300,000 in the bank and monthly burn of $60,000 has a cash runway of 5 months — meaning it must either reach profitability or close a new funding round within that window to keep operating.
