Decision / watch: Decision: runway and market risk — founders and technically literate investors managing runway and exposure. Today's evidence moves the current runway, financing, and revenue-concentration assumptions. Revise by 2026-08-29 if a rate decision, funding round, or reported result changes financing cost or the valuation comparable a plan rests on.
