Use of Funds & Runway Plan
How the $550K Proof Round will be deployed, the runway it provides, and the milestones each dollar unlocks. Includes the $100K bridge loan received in January 2026 (repaid at $120K upon close), leaving $430K net deployable capital. Reconciles to the Financial Model and KPI Dashboard.
Original investors provided $510K PE in November 2024, and a bridge loan in January 2026 for 3 months of lean runway (~$30K/mo) to fund operations while closing the $550K Proof Round. Upon full close, the bridge is repaid at $120K (principal + fee), leaving $430K net deployable from the raise. Bridge lender acknowledged repayment as condition of close.

All figures reconcile to the VIBEUP Financial Model (March 2026). The two-phase burn structure reflects lean Proof Round operations (~$40–45K/mo, $500K total 2026 OpEx) scaling to full velocity (~$80–90K/mo) only after the Scale Round closes ($3M–$8M) or the company achieves monthly operational profitability. Revenue begins Day 1 post-launch and extends effective runway. The $100K bridge loan provided 3 months of pre-close runway and is fully repaid ($120K) at Proof Round close — this is reflected in the $430K net deployable figure throughout.
