Hiring Plans Connected to Runway
See exactly how each hire changes your runway — before the offer.
You're planning team growth. Each hire represents a major financial commitment that extends beyond salary. You need to see the exact runway impact — not estimates — before making an offer.
The challenge
Each hire costs more than salary
Total cost = salary + benefits + tools + management overhead. A $100K engineer is really $130K in actual monthly burn.
Timing matters as much as cost
Hiring two people in January vs one in January and one in April creates very different runway impacts. You need staggered date modeling.
Headcount decisions happen in isolation
You plan hires in one spreadsheet, track budget in another, and compute runway mentally. Nothing is connected.
