What is your BURN rate?
"You already lost one partner and your the only one left in the company what is your burn rate on this?"
He had lost his org partner in 4 months now at 7 months the project is just at the tipping point but the investors could tell he was burning out fast and the big thing keeping them from investing was can he see it though still... He timidly said 1 year.
So now 3 weeks later he has burnt out.. Just about gave up offered me the company and I should have just bought him out. I instead told him to tell me his real burn rate and he told be the first or second week he was ready to give up and just has been on auto pilot since then. But he really knows he has something valuable and had no idea the amount of work that goes into building and company, product, and brand. Then realizing that needs to be marketed and that is even more work. I basically told him to **** or get off the pot.
I am interested to see his true burn rate...
If your idea doesn't pan out how you thought it would how long till you jump ship?
