If I remember correctly, the average tech startup makes its first dollar at 18 months. If the company has runway, 9 months without revenue isn't the end of the world (especially if the market is big).

That said, it sounds like you have pretty good management. Ask them the exact amount of runway given today's burn rate. Ask them again every month. Also ask them to let you know when you're at ~2 months of runway so that you can be prepared.

Don't ask, just be prepared. I think asking and appearing prepared can open you up to being more likely to be let go early if there are rounds of layoffs.
