Who This Helps
You're a Product Manager who wants to turn product questions into measurable decisions. You're tired of updating spreadsheets every week. The Founder Finance Basics Mission Pack is built for you. It helps you understand unit economics, runway, and reporting so you can make calm founder decisions.
Mini Case
Meet Ben. Revenue is up 20% but cash is flat. He needs a one-page unit economics truth. He runs the Runway Forecast mission. In 7 days, he builds a forecast card that shows his cash lasts 4 months. He uses AI to auto-pull his latest revenue and expense data. No more manual copy-paste. His team now trusts the number.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- Open the Founder Finance Basics Mission Pack and pick the Runway Forecast mission.
- List your current cash, monthly burn, and revenue growth rate.
- Ask AI to calculate your runway in months and flag if it's below 6.
- Set a weekly auto-check: AI emails you the updated runway every Monday.
- Share the forecast card with your team. One number, one decision.
Avoid These Traps
- Don't use last month's revenue for this month's forecast. Update it.
- Don't ignore growth spend. It eats cash faster than you think.
- Don't keep the data in your head. Write it down once, let AI refresh it.
- Don't skip the stress test. What if revenue drops 12%? Run the scenario.
- Don't share a forecast you can't explain. Keep it simple.
Your Win by Friday
By Friday, you'll have a runway forecast card you can explain in 30 seconds. You'll know if you have 3 months or 12. You'll stop guessing and start deciding. And you'll have 2 hours back every week. That's a win.
