Curious about the logic you used to determine a company's balance based on employee pay. Is this just your own number fidgeting or an actual best practice in finance?

It seems weird that a company paying someone less than $5K a month would need $250K in the bank. we had $100K seed check at my startup and I got paid $6K per month as a counter example.

Ok, so they paid you 72K year, plus employer side social security/taxes, benefits, etc. Call it 80K. Does that seem like a lot of money left over for other expenses?

Wouldn't you think that depends on how many employees the business has?
