Financial Runway
How many months of personal living expenses do you have saved up?
How It Works
- 1.Startup readiness measures how prepared you are across the dimensions that matter most — finances, validation, skills, mindset, differentiation, commitment, and network. A high score does not guarantee success, but it shows you have a solid foundation.
- 2.Financial runway is critical. Most startups take 12-18 months to become profitable. Having at least 6 months of living expenses saved gives you breathing room to iterate without desperation.
- 3.Validation comes before building. The biggest mistake first-time founders make is spending months building something nobody wants. Talk to real potential customers before writing a single line of code or spending money.
- 4.No one is 100% ready. A score of 70+ means you have enough going for you to start learning by doing. Waiting for perfect conditions means waiting forever.
- 5.Focus on your weakest dimension. Improving your lowest score has a bigger impact than making a strong area even stronger. Use the personalized advice above to create a concrete action plan.
