Burn rate formula

Gross burn = (OPEX_m1 + OPEX_m2 + OPEX_m3) ÷ 3
Net burn   = Gross burn  −  (Rev_m1 + Rev_m2 + Rev_m3) ÷ 3
Burn multiple = Net burn ÷ Net new ARR

Burn multiple (from David Sacks) is the modern efficiency metric every Indian VC asks about. Lower is better:

  • < 1× — exceptional capital efficiency
  • 1–1.5× — great
  • 1.5–2× — okay for early stage
  • > 2× — fix it before raising
