Calculate how much you should raise and why
Most founders pick a fundraising number without really knowing if it makes sense. This funding goal calculator helps you figure out how much to raise based on your burn rate, runway, and plans. Instead of guessing, you get a clear number and the reasoning behind it. It’s a simple, free tool built for founders who want clarity before talking to investors.
We built this because I kept seeing founders ask, “How much should I raise?” and the answer was usually just a guess. This tool helps you work backwards from burn rate and runway to get a funding goal that actually makes sense. It’s free and meant to be a quick planning step before you start fundraising. Happy to hear feedback or ideas on how to make it better.
Incredibly helpful! Early on, it’s really easy to misjudge burn and runway, especially when plans are still shifting around. This'll give founders something concrete they can confidently take into investor conversations, and make sure they don't under/oversell themselves.
It's an interesting problem to solve, but it seems hard to monetize
This is absolutely crazy in the best way possible! Honestly, the fact that you're building something specifically with early founders in mind means so much. We've all been there—staring at a blank screen trying to figure out how much to actually raise, and getting wildly different advice from everyone around you. I'm genuinely stoked to try this out.
Spot on problem-solution fit. Most founders (myself included) just double whatever the last guy raised 😅 This gives a defensible number with reasoning to back it up in investor meetings. Appreciate the transparency — trying it now for our next raise. Keep building!
