Startups operate in a high-risk environment where resource management is critical. Unlike established companies, startups often don't have revenue to cover costs initially. Keeping a close eye on your finances is essential for survival.

Managing Burn Rate

Your burn rate is the rate at which your company spends its venture capital to finance overhead before generating positive cash flow from operations. It tells you your "runway"—how many months you have left before you run out of money. Giderly helps you visualize your burn rate in real-time, giving you the alarm when you need to pivot or raise funds.

Investor Confidence

Investors love transparency. During due diligence, having organized, auditable financial records is non-negotiable. Disorganized finances are a major red flag. Showing that you have a firm grip on your unit economics increases investor confidence and can smooth the path for future funding rounds.

Tax Compliance and R&D Credits

Many startups qualify for R&D tax credits, but claiming them requires meticulous documentation of expenses related to research and development. Accurate tracking ensures you maximize these returns without risking an audit.

Scalability

As your startup grows from a team of 2 to 20, your expenses will become exponentially more complex. Implementing a robust tracking system early on ensures that your financial processes scale with your team, detailing permissions, approval workflows, and departmental budgets.

Don't let financial chaos slow down your innovation. Keep your startup lean and mean with efficient expense tracking. In the startup world, cash is oxygen—don't waste a breath.
