FAQ
What is the difference between a Pre-Money and Post-Money SAFE?
Post-money SAFEs calculate ownership percentage immediately relative to the safe pool, providing clarity on post-investment dilution. Pre-money SAFEs defer equity ownership calculations until the next qualified financing round.
Are these SAFE agreements compliant with Y Combinator standards?
Yes. I use the updated Y Combinator standard templates as the base legal framework and customize them to fit your specific round terms and governance needs.
Can you add custom terms like side letters or pro-rata rights?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages allow full customization, including pro-rata rights, information rights, and side letter provisions.
Do I need corporate resolutions to issue a SAFE?
Yes, issuing SAFEs requires proper board (and sometimes shareholder) approval. Board resolutions authorizing the issuance are included in the Premium package.
Can you review a SAFE provided to me by an investor?
Absolutely. Select any package, and I will thoroughly review, redline, and explain the terms sent by your potential investor.
How fast will I receive my finished SAFE agreement?
Standard delivery is within 24–48 hours depending on your chosen package, with fast-track delivery options available at checkout.
Is this document suitable for non-US startups?
These agreements are structured under US state laws (e.g., Delaware, California, Wyoming). International entities issuing under US jurisdiction can also use them.
What details do I need to get started?
You will need the legal startup name, investor legal name, investment amount, valuation cap, and discount rate (if applicable).
What if the deal terms change after you deliver the draft?
Every package includes revisions to adjust financial figures, investor names, or key terms prior to final execution.
