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. Here’s how it works:No Interest or Maturity Date: Unlike a convertible note, a SAFE doesn’t accrue interest or have a repayment date.
