Yep traditional advice is don't burn > 100k / mo when early stage, and most lower. So 2mo+ payroll fine for a normal seed, early A. Later stage are normally more sensitive. It's also a real issue with profitable companies whose outflows are at that level and are considering bigger purchases -- I'd be bailing if we were there just bc that.

Except the last couple years have been bonkers with little revenue / spending alignment during fundraising. Early stage burns are above that level, which makes the situation worse for current crop of co's. Ouch and good luck :(
