doesn't show runway.
This does.
Before you join a startup, check how long it survives. MCA filings show the real cash position. Careers pages don't.

Three numbers that matter most when joining a startup
Runway (months)
Net worth divided by annual net loss. How long the company can operate before capital runs out. Profitable companies generate cash — no runway concern.
3+ years: comfortable
12–36 months: monitor
Under 12 months: high risk of layoffs / shutdown
Profitability trajectory
Is the company moving toward or away from profit? Derived from loss ratio trend across two years of audited filings.
Profitable: already there
Improving: losses narrowing
Worsening: losses deepening
Payroll growth (YoY %)
Year-on-year change in employee benefit expenses. Rising = hiring or pay increases. Falling = headcount cuts or pay freezes.
+20%+: active hiring
0–20%: stable
Negative: contracting
Runway is an approximation, not a guarantee. A new funding round resets it. A product pivot changes the burn rate. Use it as a signal, not a deadline. Full employer check →
High Risk
These companies could run out of capital within a year at current burn rates.

Want the full employer picture?
Growth momentum, stability, funding dependence, career upside — five dimensions, each scored from the filing.
Important disclaimer
Runway is calculated from the most recent available audited MCA filing, typically 6–18 months behind real time. A company's financial position may have changed materially. A new funding round, a product pivot, or a headcount change are not visible here until the next filing is submitted. Use this as one input, alongside your own due diligence, not as the final word.
New filings added as they land on MCA
We read every filing so you know what the numbers say before you sign.
