In a startup, revenue solves all problems.

Funding can help, but only for so long.

As long as you have cash, you can run the startup.

When you run out of money, then it’s over.

Revenue can fix any problem.

If you need more sales support, you can hire them.

If you need to fix a product, you can bring in a developer to do the job.

If you need more leads, you can hire a marketer.

Funding can solve many problems, but it’s limited.

There’s only so much funding a founder can raise.

Funding only goes so far before it runs out.

Funding jump-starts the business, but revenue carries it the distance.

Develop your long-term plans around revenue generation.

Use funding to fill the gaps.

Whatever you do, make sure you don’t run out of cash.
