Finance basics for founders

Three short lessons on the numbers investors ask about first: burn and runway, break-even and payback, and unit economics. Each lesson links to the exact formula the platform uses.

A short course for founders of SaaS and AI companies who plan without a finance team. Each lesson explains one idea in plain words, works through an example, and links to the formula the platform uses, so what you learn matches what the forecast shows.

Who it is for

Founders and early team members who want to read a forecast with confidence and answer an investor's first questions. No finance background is needed.

What you will be able to do

Lessons

  1. Burn and runway

    What net burn is, how runway follows from it, and why the platform reports both a simple runway and the month cash actually runs out.

  2. Break-even and payback

    Break-even is the first month with a profit; payback is the month the money spent so far has been earned back. Why payback comes later and why investors ask about both.

  3. Unit economics

    ARPA, churn, customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), LTV to CAC and CAC payback: whether each customer is worth what it costs to win.
