Why it matters
Pitch and runway planning need an approximate profitability point.
How it works
Enter month-1 revenue, monthly growth %, monthly cost, and horizon months.
Formula Each month: cumulative += revenue − cost · then revenue ×= (1 + growth%)

Quick answers
Is cost always fixed?
This simple model assumes fixed cost — rerun with different numbers for other scenarios.
If break-even never hits?
Change growth, cost, or horizon — or focus on extending runway first.
