SAFE
A Simple Agreement for Future Equity.
Definition
A SAFE is a widely used early-stage instrument that lets an investor put in money now in exchange for equity later, usually when the next priced round closes. It is faster and simpler than a priced round, often carrying a valuation cap, a discount, or both, with no interest or maturity date like a note.
