What is a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE)? 

A  SAFE is an agreement made with an investor where they provide funding, in return for shares in your startup in the future, to be issued at the time of your startup’s first equity funding round.

Why generate this document?

Like a Convertible Loan Note, a SAFE is shorter and simpler than the types of documentation used in later, larger investment rounds. The key terms of a SAFE are well understood in the market, so there should be minimal negotiation from investors, saving both time and money.

SAFE, KISS, Convertible Loan – What’s the difference

Raising money for a start-up can take many different forms. One way is to use convertible instruments such as convertible notes, SAFEs and KISSs. When using a convertible, the start-up receives the investment but does not issue shares at that stage. The agreement can ‘convert’ into shares in the future.
