FAQ
What’s the difference between a convertible note and a SAFE?
A convertible note is debt (has interest + maturity date). A SAFE is equity (no interest, no maturity). Notes are better for larger rounds ($250K+) or when investors demand debt.
How do I set the interest rate and maturity date?
Interest rate: Typically 2-8% (higher = more investor-friendly). Maturity date: Usually 1-2 years (gives you time to raise equity). I’ll help you balance founder protection with investor appeal.
What happens if I can’t repay the note at maturity?
We can draft it to automatically convert to equity at a set price, or extend the maturity date (if investors agree). I’ll structure it to protect you from default.
Do I need a board consent for a convertible note?
Yes, if you’re a Delaware C-Corp (most startups are). Skipping it makes your note legally questionable. My Premium package includes this.
Can you help me negotiate with investors?
I can’t negotiate for you, but I’ll: ✔ Explain terms in plain English ✔ Flag unfair clauses ✔ Suggest counter-proposals ✔ Draft protective language
