Cash in the bank, month by month

Start the raise in month 2, while 10 months of cash remain. The round closes in month 6 with $300K left, and $3.6M comes in.

At $125K a month, the cash lasts 31.2 months after the close. That gives you 25.2 months from this close to the next one. That is more than the median wait of approximately 25 months from seed to Series A (2025, Carta).
