Every founding team / management team should be doing this or something like this. Even early on. Pre-CFO. Angel stage, seed stage. Whatever.

When the "easy" money stops - which at some point it will - and raising "the next round" gets hard, cash flow is going to matter.

The concept that burn rate ticks down toward or "months until death" march to the next fundraise will not be an effective plan in that environment.
