SAFE & Seed Financing Support
A post-money SAFE is five pages long and most of them are standard. The decisions that matter are in the blanks—valuation cap, discount, whether there is a side letter—and in what the document does not say: how several SAFEs stack, what the pool looks like after conversion, and what you have promised the lead that the next investor will ask for too. We help founders close seed rounds with eyes open.
Where we add value
The economics
Caps, discounts and most-favored-nation clauses, modeled against the round you expect next so you can see the real dilution before you sign.
Side letters and rights
Pro rata rights, information rights, board observer seats and major-investor thresholds. Each is reasonable alone; together they shape the next round.
Securities compliance
Accredited-investor verification, the exemption relied on, Form D and state notice filings, and the representations investors make. Routine when done, costly when skipped.
Closing
Board and stockholder approvals, a closing checklist, signature pages and an updated cap table that reflects every instrument outstanding.
