A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is an agreement between an investor and a company that provides rights to the investor for future equity without determining a specific price per share at the time of the initial investment. It is a flexible funding mechanism commonly used by startups to avoid complex valuations during early funding rounds. Example:Let's say your startup needs to raise capital quickly, but there is uncertainty around the company's current valuation. You use a SAFE agreement to attract investors. Hereโ€™s how it works:No Interest or Maturity Date: Unlike a convertible note, a SAFE doesnโ€™t accrue interest or have a repayment date. Future Equity: The investor will receive equity when the company holds a priced round in the future.Valuation Cap or Discount: Often, a SAFE includes a valuation cap or a discount, giving the investor a beneficial price per share when the SAFE converts to equity.
