Our updated safes are post-money safes. By “post-money” we say that the safe owner is measured by post, all the safe money is accounted for – which is now his own trick – but before (before) the new money in the price cycle that transforms and dilutes the coffers (normally series A, but sometimes the Seed series). The post-money safe has what we think is a great advantage for founders and investors – the ability to calculate immediately and exactly how much property the company has been sold. For the founders, it is essential to understand how much dilution is caused by each chest they sell, just as it is fair for investors to know how much they have bought ownership of the business. All the details have been added, as in the picture. Some fields are not visible at first. However, if you add the details in accordance with the agreement, the fields will be displayed. Once you`ve filled in all the details, click “Send.” As the security of a single flexible document without many trading conditions, start-ups and investors save money in legal fees and reduce the time spent negotiating investment terms. Startups and investors generally have only one point to negotiate: the valuation cap. Since a safe does not have an expiry date or maturity date, no time or money should be spent on extending maturities, reviewing interest rates or otherwise.

The new safe does not change two fundamental characteristics that we believe are important to startups: although this concept is consistent with the original concept of SAFE notes, it has made less sense in the world where FAS has become independent funding cycles. Thus, the old proportional right was removed from the new SAFE notes. But there is a new model letter that offers investors a proportional right in financing the stock series both on the basis of investors as a safe property transformed, which is also now much more transparent. Another new function of the safe concerns a “prorgula” right. The original safe required the company to allow holders of safes to participate in the financing round after the financing round in which the safe was converted (for example. B if the safe is converted into series group preferred actuators, a secure holder – now holder of a Series A preferred share subseries – is allowed to acquire a proportionate portion of the Series B preferred share). While this concept is consistent with the original concept of safe, it made no sense in a world where safes were becoming independent funding cycles. Thus, the “old” pro-rata right is removed from the new safe, but we have a new model letter (optional) that offers the investor a proportional right in the preferential financing of Series A on the basis of the converted safe property of the investor, which is now much more transparent. Whether a start-up and an investor enter the letter with a safe will now be a choice that the parties will choose, and this may depend on a large number of factors. Factors to consider can (among other things) the amount of the safe purchase and the amount of future dilution that proportional duty can cause to the founders – an amount that can now be predicted with much greater accuracy if post-money safes are used.
