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.
