Hey Product Hunt, I'm Tansher, founder of Trenston. I built this because running a company meant opening a dozen tools and chasing people for status just to know what was going on. Spreadsheets, chat, CRM, accounting, floor ops, and nobody had the whole picture. Trenston pulls that into one place. Briefing shows what changed, what needs a decision, and what you can hand off. Decision Center ranks approvals by impact. Financials stay honest (missing cash shows as "Add data," not a fake $0). Ask Trenston answers from your workspace data, not the open web. Built for founders and owners running real operations, from the first hire onward. Free plan to try; paid plans include a 7-day trial. I'd love feedback from people who run companies day to day: what's missing in your morning picture? Happy to answer questions here all day. Tansher https://www.trenston.com

What’s the first number you check every morning as a founder?

Mine is cash runway, meaning how many months I can keep going at the current burn. Everything else, like MRR, tasks and pipeline, matters less if that number is shrinking.

I check it first thing because it decides what I can do that day: whether I can spend on something, whether I should slow down, whether I have time to experiment. I look at it in Trenston's daily briefing, right next to anything that changed overnight.

Curious what yours is. Cash, MRR, signups, something else?

How do you track cash runway without a finance team?

I keep it simple. Runway is cash in the bank divided by average monthly burn, so I just need those two numbers up to date.

What I do: log every expense as it happens, mark the recurring ones (subscriptions, tools) so they're counted every month, and update my cash balance whenever it changes. Once a month I look at where the money went by category, and I look at the runway number every day.

The mistake I see is only tracking it when money gets tight. By then you've lost the time to fix it. I built this into Trenston because I wanted it to just be there without me thinking about it, but a spreadsheet works too if you stay consistent.

How do you do it?

I watched a factory stop because a problem wasn’t visible.

My dad runs a manufacturing company, and I grew up around it. More than once I watched the factory stop because a problem wasn't visible in the reports and messages until it was too late.

What stuck with me is that nobody was careless. The information was there, just spread across people, reports and messages, and nobody had the whole picture at once. My dad gets more than 10 reports a day by email, and he has to open each one to find the numbers that matter.

That's why I started building Trenston: one place where an owner can see what's happening in the company and spot problems early, and then decide what to do about it. I'm still early, and I'd love to hear from other owners and founders about problems that stayed hidden until it was too late.
