FAQ

What is a SAFE agreement?

A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is an investment contract that allows startups to raise funds from investors in exchange for future equity, without setting a valuation at the time of investment. It was originally developed in Silicon Valley to simplify early-stage fundraising.

A SAFE works by granting investors the right to receive company shares at a future financing round, usually at a discount or with a valuation cap. This makes it a founder-friendly alternative to traditional convertible notes, as it avoids interest rates and maturity dates.
