Runway = capital divided by net monthly spend (spend minus income). Watch it monthly: as income grows, the net spend falls and the runway extends. Plan your next funding or break-even well before the runway ends.

How long your capital lasts

Runway is the number of months your capital will last at your current net spend. For a new business that is the single most important number, because it sets the clock you are racing to reach break-even or your next funding.

As your income grows, your net monthly spend shrinks and the runway extends. Watching it every month tells you whether you are pulling away from the cliff or heading toward it, while there is still time to change course.

Worked examples

A new venture
  • KES 1,000,000 capital, KES 180,000 out and KES 90,000 in is KES 90,000 net spend.
  • That is about 11 months of runway.

Frequently asked questions

What is startup runway?
It is how many months your available capital will last at your current net monthly spend. It is the clock you are racing to reach break-even or your next round of funding before the cash runs out.
How do I calculate runway?
Divide your capital by your net monthly spend, which is your monthly spend minus any income. The result is roughly how many months you can continue before the capital is gone.
How much runway should I aim for?
Enough to reach a clear milestone, break-even or the next funding, with margin. Under six months is tight and calls for action now, whether that is growing income, cutting costs, or raising more.
How do I extend my runway?
Grow income, cut non-essential spending, or raise more capital. Even small increases in monthly income shrink your net spend and stretch the runway noticeably.
How does Veira help a new business?
Veira tracks your real income and spending from day one, so your runway is based on actual trade and you see early whether you are heading toward break-even.
