Runway Control Room
The founder with the clearest runway controls the raise.
A finance-grade operating system that keeps your runway current, your budget drift visible, and your investor scenarios ready. Every month, before the next raise.
Every raise comes down to one question.
An investor asks what a hire, a delay, or a price change does to your runway. Answer it on the spot, with current numbers, and you control the conversation. Miss it, and you look unprepared.
- Month-end numbers land weeks after the month is over.
- The model is out of date the day you finish building it.
- Every what-if means rebuilding the model by hand.
- Budget drift only shows up after the damage is done.
Right now you have a window to prove the product works. A decision whose runway cost you cannot see can quietly close that window, and everything you are building inside it.
Five ways founders try to answer it. Each solves one piece.
Accountant or Treuhänder
Closed books and statutory accuracy. Backward-looking, not built for the decisions ahead.
Fractional CFO
Real judgement and modelling. Expensive, time-based, rarely current between sessions.
FP&A dashboard
Charts and integrations. You still configure it, read it, and explain it.
Spreadsheet model
Flexible for scenarios. Breaks easily, manual to update, hard to keep current.
AI automation agency
Workflow automation. Little finance judgement, auditability, or fundraising context.
The whole problem has no owner. That is what we are building.
A Runway Control Room.
We do not start by replacing your model. We build you one if you want it, or take yours if you and your investors already trust it. Then we wrap it in a system that keeps it alive.
Your model stays the source of truth. The system does the work around it, every month, so the plan never goes stale.
Actuals in. A rebased plan out.
The forecast follows your priority
Pick the objective: hit a runway date, extend the runway, or maximise growth. Unspent budget can roll forward as savings that buy you more time, or move to later months, with or without an impact on growth. The forecast rebuilds itself around the call you make.
No black box
Every figure stays in your own model. The system reads your questions and writes the commentary. It never invents a number. Each run passes an automatic audit before it reaches you, and is held back if a check fails.
Decisions before cash pressure makes them for you.
Current runway, always
Cash, burn, and months left, ready within hours of your close.
Drift you see early
Spending tracked against budget and forecast, flagged red, amber, or green before month-end.
Scenarios in plain English
"What if I hire an additional sales rep now, with three months of training and cost plus commission of X?" A full model back in minutes, not days.
A way to act, not just watch
A ranked menu of runway-extension options for when time gets tight.
Investor-ready outputs
Runway, burn, and scenario charts, exported and ready to drop into a board or investor update.
Clear about its edges.
Not bookkeeping or accounting
Your books stay where they are. The Control Room reads them, it does not replace them.
Not a fractional CFO on retainer
You get the model and the system that runs it, without an open-ended hourly bill.
Not a dashboard you maintain
You do not configure or update it. It runs every month, or the moment you ask it to.
Not a black box
Every figure lives in your own model. The system writes the commentary, never the numbers.
Not a one-time investor deck
The model stays live long after the round, as the plan you actually run on.
From your numbers to a live Control Room.
- 01
We map what you have
A short call to see your model, your accounting, and how your business actually works.
- 02
We agree the exact scope
Together, built around your setup: accounts, currencies, channels, cohorts, and the decisions you face.
- 03
We build your Runway Control Room
Your model, validated and wired into the monthly system, with the outputs you need. Done for you, without additional work on your side.
- 04
You run on it
A permanent view of runway and drift, updated whenever you want. Monthly packs generate on their own.
Built by an operator, not an agency.
At KetoSwiss I was the finance function for three years and led the model that carried them through their CHF 3.5M Pre-Series A raise. I co-founded and exited two businesses, with twenty years across startups, scale-ups, and asset management, and graduated first in class from Geneva HEC business school.
I have advised numerous founders from pre-seed through Series A on finances and risk, across SaaS, apps, ecommerce, health and wellness, fund management, trading, and hospitality.
Performs at the level expected by top-tier venture investors.
Dr. Elena Gross, Founder and CEO, KetoSwiss AG
Very sharp in asking the right questions ahead of time, and pointing out what needs to be addressed before it is too late.
Noe, Founder of Mojo Boutique
Who this is for.
- 01You raised pre-seed or seed, or you are raising in the next 3 to 12 months.
- 02Six to twenty-four months of runway, with real spending decisions ahead.
- 03Some model and accounting data already in place.
- 04Enough moving parts that mental math stops being enough: multiple accounts or currencies, sales channels, customer cohorts, or hiring tied to funding.
Not for very early founders with no model, or anyone who only needs a one-time investor deck.

If that is the seat you are in, let's talk before the next raise.
No pitch. A founder-to-founder conversation to see if this fits where you are.
