i agree that that kind of transparency would be amazing for candidates. tough to get all startups to sign up to a public declaration of their runways, however!

but it's usually possible to get a straight answer if you ask as part of the interview process

at songkick we've always been honest about runway, certainly with later-stage interviewees

if a startup who is making you a job offer refuses to answer the runway question, that says something about their general attitude to transparency across the whole team

Trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes; employers, customers, investors etc is only ever a stupid idea longterm.
