# Meet Margo.
I make sure you never run out of runway.

I run your forecast, runway, and burn multiple. Ask me about a hire, a price change, or a scenario — I'll show you what it does to the next 18 months.

## The questions you keep asking yourself.
Margo just answers them.

### “How much runway do I have?”
Live runway based on real cash, real burn, committed expenses, and signed contracts — not a stale spreadsheet. Margo recomputes daily so the number you cite to investors is the number that's true.

### “Can I afford to hire right now?”
Plug in the role, salary, start date — Margo shows the burn impact, the new runway, and when each hire breaks even on contribution. Compare scenarios side by side before you make the offer.

### “When should I start fundraising?”
Working backward from your target close date and runway buffer, Margo calculates the latest safe start date and alerts you 30 days out. No more 'we have 4 months left and haven't started' conversations.

## The old way vs. Margo's way

**The old way**  
- Runway calculated in a spreadsheet that hasn't been updated since last fundraise  
- Hiring decisions made on gut feel — no one models the burn impact of 2 new AEs  
- Board asks 'when do we need to raise?' and you scramble to build a model overnight  
- Burn multiple and efficiency metrics pulled manually from 3 different tools  
- Budget vs. actual variance reviewed quarterly — surprises show up too late to fix

**Margo's way**  
- Live runway model updated daily — current cash, burn rate, and cash-out date always visible  
- Scenario modeling in seconds: 'What if I hire 2 AEs and 1 SDR in Q3?' shows exact runway and burn impact  
- Fundraising timing calculated automatically — Margo tells you when to start based on runway and close timelines  
- Burn multiple, magic number, and Rule of 40 tracked in real time against your actuals  
- Monthly variance analysis delivered automatically — budget overruns flagged the week they happen, not next quarter

## What Margo delivers  
**Runway never surprises you**  
Live runway model based on real cash, real burn, committed expenses, and signed contracts. Hire scenarios run in seconds — model the impact before you make the offer.  
**Forecast tied to reality**  
Rolling 18-month forecast updated daily from your actuals — not a stale spreadsheet. Variance flagged the week it happens, fundraising timing modeled around runway and close timeline.

## How Margo helps at every stage

- **Bootstrapped**  
Runway calculated daily, not at month-end. Know exactly when you'd need to raise — or whether you can avoid raising entirely with a price change or pacing shift.
- **Pre-Seed**  
Burn multiple, Rule of 40, magic number — all tracked live so investor questions get an instant answer, not a weekend rebuild of the spreadsheet.
- **Seed**  
Fundraising timing modeled around your runway and close timeline. Margo tells you when to start the round — not when you've already run out.

## Margo doesn't work alone.
Your AI finance team is six specialists working together. Margo's work feeds into the rest of the team — and theirs feeds into Margo's.

## Questions about Margo

**How does Margo calculate runway?**  
Margo uses your real-time cash balance and trailing 3-month average burn rate (weighted toward the most recent month). The model accounts for committed expenses, signed contracts, and pending hires — not just historical averages.

**Can I run multiple hiring scenarios?**  
Unlimited scenarios. 'What if I hire 2 AEs in July?' 'What if I hire 2 AEs in July AND raise prices 15%?' Each scenario shows the impact on burn, runway, and when you'd need to raise. Compare them side by side.

**How does Margo know when I should fundraise?**  
Margo works backward from your runway. If you need 6 months to close a round and want 6 months of post-close runway buffer, Margo calculates the latest safe start date — and alerts you 30 days before it.

**Does Margo replace our board deck?**  
Margo generates the financial section of your board deck automatically — P&L, burn, runway, variance commentary, and forward projections. You add the narrative. Your board gets consistent, accurate numbers every meeting.
