SAFE (Simple Agreement for Equity) is an increasingly popular seed financing instrument, especially in the Silicon Valley. With this tool, you can assess how the key elements of the SAFE (namely the Valuation Cap and Discount Rate) will affect the firms ownership structure and value allocation in a future priced financing round (Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock or Liquidation/Takeover). For a detailed discussion of the SAFE, please refer to the dedicated course section.
