How long until the money runs out?

"About 14 months" is what you tell people. This spreadsheet is where you find out whether it is 14 or 9, once the two hires start and revenue grows slower than the deck says.

Eight inputs. Runway, breakeven month, cash after 12 months, and a 36-month projection, row by row.

Works in Google Sheets and Excel.
