Hey guys, I’m the developer at LTSE that built Runway, a free, visual tool to help you understand, manage and extend your cash runway. I built it for founders like me, who aren’t the biggest fan of spreadsheets, but want to build a sound financial model for my company. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Any plans to integrate with external accountancy software, like Xero? So we can build scenarios on top of our baseline?

Designers are getting a pretty bad deal in the product screenshot estimate and I feel really bad for the Part-time CFO but great product nonetheless 👌😀

Awesome tool, would love to see the possibility to model CAC, Churn, COGS and also different type of revenue models like Freemium / HW + Saas, etc. Do you intend to implement that ? I have been working on a financial model for my startup in the last couple of days and ended up using Google sheet. What is great with a tool like that is to make the results visuals in order to understand what are the parameters that will drive growth and when the cash curve get negative to anticipate financing.

Wow @ericries another fantastic resource, thank you (and the whole team) so much. Been playing around with a scenario on the tool and it's super fast/easy to get it set up and modify to look at different scenarios. Critical knowledge but easy enough to get back on the task of building one's startup. Kudos.

It would be great to be able to export some graph and summary data for a pitch deck in a standard size (16:9 / 4:3). You could have a branded export like "generated with Runway" to spread the word among Startup founders and investors.

This is awesome. Would love the ability to use multiple currencies: some of out costs are in USD and some are in GBP.

I have worked with a lot of startups over the years, and one of the most common question any founder ever gets is: how much runway do you have left? I am repeatedly astonished how few founders really know the answer to this question. If that's you, you need to get on that right now! Don't take a guess or trust your gut on this one. On the other hand, you can easily count the ways building your own excel/sheets version of this model from scratch sucks. Mistakes, bad security, terrible sharing, etc. The LTSE team wanted to come up with something better, and this is our attempt. Thanks for all the comments so far! We love to hear your feedback.

Looks really interesting - why is it free?

I achieved so much from this tool after toiling with it for half an hour. I spent like over two-weeks in Excel struggling to do the same thing. Thank you, makers!!!!

Congrats to the whole team, guys :) I see a bunch of tricky issues gracefully solved, it's always a difficult task to compromise between simplicity/ flexibility/ I-hate-Excel-leave-me-alone and still offering in-depth data. I was looking for such a tool for cash flow planning last year and eventually I ended up building my own, ThinkOut - http://thinkout.io. Have you thought yet of offering a basic API to feed income/ expense data from 3rd parties? Although ThinkOut was built more around services businesses (IT/ creative industries) we do have some users in tech startups (SaaS mostly) that would love to have some key metrics available. Cheers!

As a startuper I know it is very important manages expenses. Hope this product can help with that

This looks like an incredibly useful service. One that surely will be able to replace my Excel spreadsheet and be much more helpful. When I clicked through to go to the site, I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if this was a free service? I then clicked on the pricing page and was extremely grateful to see that it's being provided free as a public service. Bravo!

Not used the product yet but looks great. Will there be support for other currencies?

Awesome. Haven't tried it yet, but looks very useful. I have been searching for a lightweight, easy-to-use cash flow planning tool for a while now. Most are only compatible with accounting service integrations or are too complicated to use. I settled for Spreadsheets and PulseApp, but this looks better (hopefully).

This looks really neat!

Great release!

Cool tool! Would love to see some cost model integration, especially around labor categories like development, so we could project before bringing people on. This would help not only with budget planning, but actual allocation of dollars (ie: developers in SF vs Houston vs Upwork, etc).

Just had a play around with this. You've made this super easy to follow for people who just want to click and go. Any plans to integrate with Sage?

This looks great! Much nicer than looking at a spreadsheet. One thing that would be useful is a way to reference the numbers from other "Cases" so that you can keep certain assumptions the same or make adjustments that inherit from the "Base Case"
