Let's define a VC Term: SAFEs! SAFEs are a type of financial tool that allow investors to provide funding to a startup in exchange for the right to convert that funding into equity when a specific event occurs, most notably a future priced round or an acquisition.  While SAFEs generally support founders, they have elements that attempt to protect investors or ensure that they get better deals, for example: - A valuation cap, or the maximum valuation at which investors’ shares will be converted.  - A discount, which offers investors a set percentage reduction in the company’s future valuation.  - An MFN (Most Favored Nation) clause, which guarantees investors the same or better terms that are offered to investors in future deals. SAFEs do not have all three of these elements at once. They can have: (a) a cap and no discount, (b) a discount and no cap, (c) a discount and a cap, or (d) just an MFN. Since they were introduced by YCombinator in 2013, SAFEs have become increasingly popular in the startup world. SAFEs are most commonly used by startups when valuations are uncertain, such as in pre-seed or seed rounds, or when a quick, streamlined process of raising funds is demanded by their situation. Here are some SAFE financing documents from YCombinator: https://lnkd.in/d2zcNHNp Want to learn more VC terms? Stay connected with us on LinkedIn!
