Sıkça sorulan sorular
How do upfront costs affect how much to raise?
They set the floor: a round should cover known upfront costs plus enough runway to reach the next milestone, not just ongoing burn.
Can upfront costs be reduced through financing?
Sometimes, through venture debt, equipment financing, or vendor payment terms that spread a large upfront cost over time instead of paying it out of the equity raise.
