Extend Runway Between Rounds
Receive upfront capital today to extend your runway.
Looking to extend your runway between rounds?
Timing your equity rounds right is critical. If you raise too early, you can lose a big share of your ownership. If you raise too late you delay growth. Why do startup founders need to extend their cash runway?
Why might founders extend their runway?
Waiting to hit a milestone
Many founders wait until they hit a key milestone to raise their next round. This helps them get a better valuation and give up less equity.
Long fundraising timelines
Raising equity funding can take 6-12 months per round. Founders may need cash for operations and growth in the meantime.
Unexpected expenses
When unexpected expenses, or delayed revenue are a factor, monthly burn increases and cash runway timelines become shorter.
