Companies don’t die when the runway ends.They die when the team stops running.

Everyone talks about cash flow.

Burn rates. Runway.

But look at the data: ⚫ 36% of startups fail because of people problems. ⚫ Nearly half of founders admit internal conflict slowed them down. ⚫ And disengagement spreads faster than a short bank account.

Money buys time. But people decide what you do with it. That’s why the companies that last aren’t just the ones who raise the biggest round, they’re the ones who:

🧡 Build trust before stress hits 🧡 Keep teams aligned on the mission (not just the metrics) 🧡 Know how to catch burnout before it breaks momentum

You can extend your runway with capital. But the only way to keep running is culture.
