The concept of having a runway has its own set of maxims for startup founders. Investors we’ve interviewed generally agree that a successful fundraise should leave a startup with 18 to 36 months of capital, and by the time a startup has around 9 to 12 months of cash, it should start raising its next round. But what should startup founders do when they see the end of their runway fast approaching, investors disappearing into the woodwork, and ever fewer ways to get more capital?

Everyone starts their fundraising the same way: 1) Open a shared Google Sheet. 2) List all the VCs you've ever heard of. 3) Ask a bunch of people who they know. 4) Find out very quickly this isn't very effective. First off, most people in the world can't name any VCs. I suppose if you're reading this post, you can name at least one--but I'm not even active anymore, so even if you could name a few, you might quickly find you have a relevancy problem.
