Runway Voice - Ask your cash flow anything

Cash is the question founders ask most and answer least. The numbers sit in a spreadsheet opened once a month; enterprise FP&A tools are priced and built for finance teams. Runway Voice puts the direct-method 13-week cash forecast - the methodology used in professional FP&A and turnaround work - behind a voice interface built on AssemblyAI Universal speech-to-text. The founder asks out loud: What is our runway? Which invoices are overdue? What happens if we hire an engineer? An intent and scenario engine routes the question to the cash model, which recomputes weekly inflows, probability-weighted receivables, fixed costs and payables, and returns the number, the trajectory chart, and the action that matters most. Why AssemblyAI: Universal STT handles founder-speak - accents, long numbers, unusual company names - fast enough to keep the conversation at the speed of thought, and one API covers the whole voice layer so the product stays focused on the finance model. Business value: hundreds of millions of small businesses share the cash-visibility pain; nothing serves them at a EUR 29/month price point. The wedge expands into ledger sync (DATEV, Xero, QuickBooks), proactive weekly voice briefs, and multi-entity consolidation. Domain logic comes from a 16-year FP&A operator (PwC, Hilti, Delivery Hero). Demo data is a fictional company; all figures illustrative.
