자주 묻는 질문
What is a healthy burn rate?
One that leaves 18 to 24 months of runway after a raise and buys measurable progress; the ratio of burn to growth (burn multiple) matters more than the absolute number.
What is the difference between gross and net burn?
Gross burn is all cash out per month; net burn is cash out minus cash in. Investors usually mean net burn.
