Rule of thumb is 100k for prototype in 2 months. 1million for a full product in 1 year.


The 1 million sounds about right but the 100k doesn't. How on earth do you staff up quickly enough in two months to get tho that burn rate?

Or if that is contracting fees then it isn't really part of your consistent burn rate.


Bargain! I'd like cures for cancer and malaria, an interstellar space program, an app that builds other apps without coding, and an O(1) solution to the travelling salesman problem. kthxbye!


I'll try my hand at all 5 for 5 million.


Whose rule of thumb?
