FAQ
What is a Convertible Note?
It is short-term debt that converts into equity (typically Preferred Shares) upon the closing of a future qualified equity financing round.
What are the key terms needed for a Convertible Note?
Valuation cap, discount rate (commonly 15%–25%), annual interest rate, and maturity date (typically 12–24 months).
What happens if my startup does not raise another round before maturity?
My notes include specific mechanisms addressing maturity, including conversion options or extension mechanics, to prevent automatic liquidation defaults.
Is this note secured or unsecured?
Standard convertible notes are unsecured corporate obligations. If you require a secured note with a security agreement/collateral pledge, specify that in the requirements.
Does this document comply with US usury laws?
Yes. I review interest rates against applicable state usury limits to ensure complete enforceability.
What is the difference between the Note and the Note Purchase Agreement?
The Note is the actual debt instrument. The Note Purchase Agreement contains company representations, closing conditions, and securities law covenants.
