Sort your funding quickly and focus on growth, with a well-established and standardised method of funding, that delays the need to decide a fixed valuation until a later date.
A Convertible Loan Note is a convertible instrument that may convert to shares at your startup’s next equity funding round. When the loan amount converts into shares, the convertible loan note holder will become a shareholder in your startup, taking the same class of shares issued in that equity funding round.
Like a SAFE, a Convertible Loan Note is shorter and simpler than the types of documentation used in later, larger investment rounds. The key terms of a convertible loan note are well understood in the market, so there should be minimal negotiation from investors, saving both time and money.
