該工具可計算初創企業需要多少資金。假設您的支出不變,收入增長,它將顯示您何時實現盈利,以及在此之前您將燒掉多少資金。一旦實現盈利,您就能掌握自己的命運:如果願意,您可以籌集更多資金以加快發展。

您可以拖動紅色或綠色手柄來設置支出、收入和增長。從幾何學角度看,所需資金是收入和支出曲線之間的藍色陰影區域。

如果你完全按照計算出的金額籌集資金,並且一切都按預期進行,那麼在你實現盈利的那個月,你的銀行賬戶上的資金將為 0 美元,這有點令人緊張。因此,在此基礎上提高一個舒適的幅度。

默認情況下,它顯示的是周利率,但也有一個按鈕可以使用月利率或年利率。如果你想知道它是如何工作的,代碼就在 gitlab 上。

This tool calculates how much funding your startup needs. Assuming your expenses are constant and your revenue is growing, it shows when you’ll reach profitability and how much capital you’ll burn through before then. Once you’re profitable, you control your destiny: you can raise more to grow faster if you want.

You can drag the red or green handles to set expense, revenue and growth. Geometrically, the capital needed is the blue-shaded area between the revenue and expense curves.

If you raised exactly the amount calculated and everything goes as expected, your bank account would be at $0 the month you hit profitability, which is kind of stressful. So raise a comfortable margin above it.

By default it shows weekly rates, but there’s a button to use monthly or yearly rates. The code is on gitlab if you’re curious how it works.
