Startup offer runway check

Use when a candidate, or a recruiter trying to close one, needs to judge the real risk in a startup job offer. Reads the funding history and last valuation, whether the lead investor follows on, headcount and traffic momentum, and whether the company is still hiring, producing a plain-language risk read and the questions to ask before signing.

# Startup offer runway check

For one private company, given its domain. The last round date from step 1 anchors the runway estimate.

## 1. The money

1. Read @[Fireround · A company's profile and funding](alexandria:fireround/companies/profile) (id the domain): rounds, amounts, dates, last valuation and investors. Months since the last round, against a typical 18 to 24 month raise cycle, frame how soon it must raise again.
2. Read the lead investor with @[Fireround · An investor's profile](alexandria:fireround/investors/profile) (id): whether it tends to lead or join follow-on rounds in its portfolio.

## 2. The momentum

3. Read @[FullEnrich · Company lookup](alexandria:fullenrich/companies/lookup) (domain) for headcount. Fast hiring right after a round is normal; growth long after one shortens runway.
4. Read @[Similarweb · Traffic and engagement](alexandria:similarweb/web/traffic) (domain, metrics visits, the latest complete month and the month six months earlier) for product traction.

## 3. Still hiring

5. If it is a YC company, list @[Y Combinator · Jobs](alexandria:ycombinator-com/companies/jobs); otherwise list @[Greenhouse · Jobs](alexandria:greenhouse-io/jobs/jobs) (board_token). Few remaining roles outside your own may mean a slowdown.

## Write the runway read

- **Risk read:** low, moderate or high, in plain language.
- **Evidence:** months since raise, investor follow-on habit, headcount, traffic trend, open roles.
- **Questions to ask:** months of runway, last round's preference terms, strike price and latest 409A, exercise window.
- **Note:** this is not financial advice.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
