I explain how to model cash flow indirectly by starting with net income and making necessary adjustments, such as accounting for timing differences in payments from suppliers and customers. I urge you to track cash flow closely on a monthly basis, even if you are pre-revenue, and to begin fundraising preparations three to six months before you anticipate needing cash. Remember that growth does not automatically guarantee positive cash flow, and diligent cash collection is essential. Please take these insights seriously as they are vital for your financial health."}
