Bridge & extension.

Map the runway. Tell the truth.

When the next round is harder than the last, modeling stops being optional. Map every plausible path to default-alive and pick the one you can defend.

Sound familiar?

You shouldn't need a finance team to answer this

The everyday questions this module makes simple.

The next round is harder

What worked last time won't this time, and hope is not a runway plan.

You can't see the cliff

Without a clear runway map, you don't know how many months of room you really have.

Bridge terms are a black box

SAFEs, convertibles, and insider rounds stack in ways that quietly cost you the company.

The talk with your existing investors

Map the runway. Tell the truth.

You're asking the people who already backed you for more, and they want the truth, not the spin. You walk in with three runway scenarios and a recommendation, and the room respects that you've done the work.

  • Every path mapped to default-alive
  • Full dilution clarity on bridge terms
  • A narrative the room respects

Good to know

Questions founders ask

What does 'default-alive' mean?+

It's the operating posture where your revenue reaches self-sufficiency before the cash runs out, the path that doesn't depend on raising again.

Can it model insider and SAFE bridges?+

Yes, SAFEs, convertibles, and insider rounds, all with full dilution clarity.

How do I present this to existing investors?+

You bring a small set of scenarios and a recommendation, each tied to numbers you can defend.
