The five numbers every founder should know weekly
Andy Sullivan ·
You don't need a 40-tab spreadsheet to run a business well. You need five numbers, checked every week.
Cash and burn
What's in the bank, and how fast it's leaving. Everything else follows from these two.
Runway
Cash divided by net burn. If it's under nine months and you're raising, start now.
Gross margin and pipeline
Margin tells you if growth is worth having. Pipeline tells you if it's coming.
