Your buildings, machines, vehicles, and equipment do more than fill a warehouse—they drive capacity and valuation.

A product rushed to market. A hack that compromised 30,000 users. And a founder forced to hit pause before it was too late. In our debut episode, four-time founder Tanner Haas reveals how a string of challenges — from losing money on protein powder sales at 18, to driving Uber to stay afloat, to recovering from a near-fatal beta launch — shaped the disciplined approach that saved his fourth startup, Freedom Chat. He shares the lessons every founder needs to hear about building a real foundation and making smarter bets with scarce resources.
Burn rate—the speed at which you burn cash—matters more than revenue for early‑stage survival. This post defines gross vs. net burn, shows how to turn them into runway (cash ÷ monthly net burn), and explains why investors track burn multiples and panic when runway drops below 12 months. You’ll see cost‑cutting tactics (audit expenses, swap fixed for variable, growth‑hack instead of paid ads, hire only when unit economics prove out) plus when it’s smart to boost spend to seize growth. Mastering burn rate lets you control fundraising timelines and avoid becoming another “out‑of‑cash” statistic.
