2008 Burn Rate Business Model Management 
Steve Blank
SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
These bubble startups were actually guessing at their business model and did premature and aggressive hype and early company launches and had extremely high burn rates – all predicated on an IPO to raise more cash. Startups with huge burn rates – building leases, staff, PR and advertising – ran out of money.

While the impact on small businesses and workers in the “gig-economy” hasn’t made the news, it will be worse for them. They have fewer cash reserves and less margin of error for managing sudden downturns. The questions every startup or small business CEO needs to ask now are: What’s my Burn Rate and Runway?

There are so many unknowns at this stage and the only known is that the business model is going to change at least once, or in the current most overused term in the Silicon Valley, there will be a "pivot". If you want to skip to the end of the story, I ended up becoming an adviser and investing in the management company.

and an investor in Right Side Capital Management (RSCM). I am curious about the rise of kickstarter type intermediaries who can manage the investment process and potentially make a single investment in a start-up. ► 2008. (14).

That was written in September 2008. The US Fed has in essence held interest rates at zero for years and has undertaken quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. Huge funding increases lead to massive wage inflation, rent inflation and thus higher burn rates. That’s the beauty of markets and of capitalism.
