Q2. When it comes to managing money in your startup — tracking expenses, planning budgets, knowing what’s left in the kitty — how do you really operate? 👉 Imagine an investor suddenly asks: “How many months of runway do you have?” Do you open a neat Excel sheet, or do you nervously call your CA while pretending the Wi-Fi just dropped?

The Jugaad Accountant; “I track expenses loosely — maybe in a diary, maybe in my head. I check my bank balance at the end of the month and make rough guesses about how long the money will last.”

The Excel Enthusiast; “I maintain spreadsheets for income, expenses, and projections. I review them monthly, make some corrections, and use them for basic decision-making.”

The CFO-at-Heart; “I have proper systems in place — accounting software, budget forecasts, cash flow statements, and even scenario planning (best case, worst case). I know my runway to the exact month and review it every week.”
