## 1. When to Raise

**Optimal timing:**
```
Target: 18-24 months runway post-close
Minimum: 12 months runway post-close (leaves no buffer for slip)

Start process when: 9-12 months runway remaining
  → 3-6 months for process (typically 4-5 months for Series A/B)
  → Leaves 3-6 months buffer if process drags

Never start when: < 6 months runway
  → Yo
