Most Startups Don’t Track Burn Rate Correctly, K-38 Consulting Finds
K-38 Consulting says nearly three in 10 startups fail after running out of money, often because of incorrect burn-rate calculations rather than excessive spending.
The firm warns that using profit-and-loss figures instead of actual cash movement can lead startups to miscalculate burn rate.
K-38 Consulting identifies confusing revenue with collections, missing irregular expenses, and outdated runway projections as financial risks.
The firm recommends tracking gross and net burn, using rolling averages, and recalculating runway each month.
