They share the cap table math in every all-hands. Unheard of.

Two years in. When we missed a raise target last fall, Jana walked the whole company through the runway model the same week. No spin. That kind of transparency changes how you make decisions on the ground.

Shares the real numbers even when the quarter is ugly. Sets a high bar.

Can confirm. Came from a place where the numbers were a black box. The contrast was night and day — you actually trust the strategy when you can see the inputs.

Genuine question — does the transparency ever create panic? Sharing a bad runway number with 140 people sounds risky.

Less than you’d think. Because it’s the *default*, people are calibrated. It’s the surprise bad news that causes panic, not the visible kind.
