Thanks to Usman Sheikh for pointing to this article… the situation Stuart describes is both shocking and also described in an engaging way. Here’s a short excerpt:

To navigate through this climate, every CEO needs to perform a simple analysis: First, how much money is in the bank (not including debt)? How much runway does this give you at your current operational posture? And what are you going to do about it?

• First choice, get to cash flow positive on that money.
• Second choice, get the cash to last for two years..
• Third choice, see how much money you can gather from existing investors to get to cash flow positive.
• Last choice, go to outside investors to get the additional money. Yes, there may be exceptions to the rule, but it is not a pretty market for companies with a high burn right now, period.
