> The new investment ... would extend the company’s “runway” to try new experiments.

Is it just me, or is a plane on a runway a scary analogy for investment?

If being higher off the ground is better in this analogy, you're far better off building a structure than flying a plane because that plane will only stay aloft as long as it has fuel.




A better analogy would need a self-sustaining stage, to reflect a profitable business model with reduced need for external investment.
