cash burn
Startup fund depletion
Cash burn is the rate at which a company spends its cash reserves, typically measured monthly.
The term appears most often in startup and venture capital contexts, where companies operate at a loss while pursuing growth: At their current cash burn, they have eighteen months of runway.
High cash burn without revenue growth signals trouble.
