SAFEs in India: What Founders get Wrong The basics: You raise money now, equity comes later - typically at your next priced round. ✅ Simple. ⚠️ But not always compliant in India. Here’s what most founders miss: a. US-style SAFEs aren’t enforceable in Indian law b. Use CCPS or a SAFE-equivalent your lawyer validates c.
