Why Startup Finance Matters
India has one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems in the world, yet over 90% of startups fail within the first five years — often due to poor financial planning rather than a bad product. Understanding your burn rate, managing runway, and planning for equity dilution are not optional skills — they are survival skills. Whether you are a student founder building from a hostel room or a bootstrapped entrepreneur in a tier-2 city, financial literacy gives you the clarity to make informed decisions, negotiate better with investors, and build a sustainable business. These tools are built to help you do exactly that — quickly, clearly, and for free.
