No credit card required.** ## Runway Calculator - **Cash**: $124K - **Burn**: $18K/mo - **Runway**: 6.9 months - **$49/mo** - **10 min setup** - **No accountant needed** ## The Problem ### Your finances are a black box at the worst possible time You have enough to worry about. Your money shouldn't be one of them. ### The surface problem #### Calculating Runway on Napkins You’re toggling between your bank app, a spreadsheet you started at 2am, and a Stripe dashboard that doesn’t match. Every financial question requires 20 minutes of detective work. ### How it makes you feel #### The Dread of Looking Unprepared An angel asks your burn rate and your stomach drops. You know the answer is somewhere—but not at your fingertips. The fear of looking like you don’t have your act together is worse than the math itself. ### Why it's just wrong #### Early-Stage Founders Shouldn’t Need $15K/mo Tools Bookkeepers want $1,500/month. Fractional CFOs start at $8K. Enterprise software assumes you have a finance team. The industry has decided you’re too small to deserve financial clarity. That’s wrong. ## We Get It ### We've been the founder Googling “how to calculate burn rate” at 1am Futureproof was built by a founder who lived the pre-seed chaos. The midnight spreadsheet sessions.
