Three runway scenarios every founder should model

Base, downside and “no raise” cases, and the decisions each triggers.

Startup Roof Editorial · 12 Jul 2026

Your runway is a decision tool. Model a base case, a downside case with slower revenue, and a “no raise” case where costs fit the cash you have.

Agree in advance which triggers move you between plans. The runway calculator in Founder OS can help you test assumptions.

This is general information, not financial advice.

Put this into practice in Founder OS.
