What it calculates

Estimates how long your cash will last. The burn rate is the net money you spend each month (expenses − revenue), and the runway is the number of months you survive before running out of funds.

Default alive or default dead

Paul Graham's question: if expenses stay as they are and revenue keeps growing at the rate of the last few months, do you become profitable before running out of cash? If so, you're default alive; if not, default dead, and it's better to know as early as possible. It's projected month by month, with your hires and rounds, and the minimum growth that would keep you alive is computed.
