Launching Runway today! A free tool for startups to visualize their financial runway: runway.growsurf.com At @GrowSurf, the financial runway tool we used shut down, and we were left without a good solution for a long time. I decided to re-create it using AI tools like @boltdotnew and @cursor_ai. I've been using it internally and love it (patting my own back here). It helps me add potential expenses (like new marketing projects or hires) and see how that affects our runway. This tool is 100% free forever for startups to use. No signup required. Over 135+ currencies are supported. Data never leaves your browser. We don't sell or share your data. Optionally, if you sign up for a free account, you can save and securely access your data anywhere.

Startups, need an easy tool for calculating your burn rate? Check out our new free tool, Runway:
📣📣 Announcing Runway, a free cash planning tool for startups 👉 Visualize cash flow and see your cash runway 👉 Track expenses and revenue 🤝 100% free. No signup required. Your data never leaves your browser. 1. Why is this useful? - Plan out your hiring or high-expense projects to see how your runway gets affected. Easily toggle different expenses on/off to see what that does to your runway. - Visualize what your burn rate and breakeven looks like through a pretty chart and detailed monthly breakdown. - Get a top-level overview of all your cash, revenue and expenses. - It's 100% FREE.

Your data stays on your browser (or create a free account to save it in the cloud and access it anywhere). 3. Who is this for? This is probably the most useful for new or growing tech startups and SaaS companies (both venture-funded and bootstrapped). Basically any business that wants to stay on top of their cash and burn rate. It's a simple FP&A tool at the end of the day. 4. Why did you make this? I used to use a free tool called StartupRunway(.)io but it got shut down. I loved that tool and was bummed out when it went away. After looking at several other tools and spreadsheet templates out there, none were quite the same. So after getting tired of using a Google spreadsheet, I decided to use Bolt(.)new to build a clone of the tool. Was impressed with getting 80% of the functionality within a day. B/c Bolt already handled the deployment and DB stuff, I decided to spend a few more months of prompting, polishing, and a ton of TLC. Excited to make it publicly available to other startups today! Check it out at runway.growsurf.com
