RunwayCal Mission Control — runway months, burn rate, cash trajectory, sparkline KPIs, and scenario overlay in a single dashboard

Most founders don't know their real numbers

Financial planning for startups and small businesses is broken. Spreadsheets go stale, assumptions hide, and critical decisions get made on gut feel.

Spreadsheet chaos

Your runway lives in a dozen tabs maintained by one person. One broken formula and the number everyone relies on is wrong. Learn more about why spreadsheets fail for runway.

Stale numbers

You told your board you have 18 months of runway. But that was before two hires, a tool renewal, and a deal that didn’t close. Is it still accurate?

Decisions without data

You're about to hire two engineers. What does that do to your runway? Without a system that recomputes in real-time, you're guessing. Learn about common decision errors.

RunwayCal replaces these patterns with clarity. Here's what changes.

How RunwayCal works

Four steps from signup to financial clarity. No configuration required.

01

02

See your runway

Your runway, burn rate, cash trajectory, and financial insights appear instantly. As you update inputs, everything recomputes. Your Mission Control dashboard is always current.

03

Model decisions

Ask "what if?" and see the exact impact. Model a hire, a cost change, new revenue, or a funding scenario. Compare multiple outcomes on the scenario overlay chart. Results are deterministic — arithmetic, not prediction.

Your data, your control

Founder-defined inputs

Every number in RunwayCal was placed there by you. Nothing is inferred, auto-categorized, or pulled from external sources.

Deterministic computation

No AI predictions. No probabilistic forecasts. Outputs are arithmetic from the inputs you define.

No data sharing

Your data is never sold, shared, or exposed to third parties. You can request full deletion at any time.

Not a financial institution

RunwayCal is a computation tool. It does not move money, provide financial advice, or act on your behalf.

Common questions

Straightforward answers about how RunwayCal works, what it does, and what it does not do.

No. RunwayCal is a computation tool. It computes runway, burn rate, and scenario outcomes from the data you provide. It does not recommend actions, suggest investments, or offer financial guidance. All decisions remain with the founder.

No. You describe your business in terms you already understand — team members, tools, deals. No formulas, no accounting knowledge needed.

RunwayCal recomputes everything automatically when inputs change. Scenarios, variance analysis, insights, alerts, and investor reports are built in. A spreadsheet gives you a snapshot. RunwayCal gives you a live system. Learn more about variance analysis and scenario analysis.

AI assists with bank statement extraction only. Everything else — runway, burn, scenarios, insights, statements — is deterministic computation. Your outputs are arithmetic from your inputs, not AI-generated predictions.
