Parties
Clearly identify the issuing company and investor by full legal name and entity type, including state of formation and organizational identifiers where applicable.
A postmoney SAFE clarifies investor ownership immediately after investment, simplifies cap table math, and reduces negotiation on interim valuation. It is commonly used to speed seed financings and provide standard conversion terms while deferring equity issuance until a priced round.
Parties should coordinate counsel review and tax advice before executing to confirm securities compliance and tax treatment.
Chief executive or authorized officer signs on behalf of the issuing company. Ensure corporate authority is documented and signatory name matches formation records to avoid later challenges.
Individual accredited investor or institutional representative signs for the purchaser. Confirm accredited status and include entity authorization if signing for a fund or SPV.
Clearly identify the issuing company and investor by full legal name and entity type, including state of formation and organizational identifiers where applicable.
Record the dollar amount paid by the investor and whether multiple closings are allowed, including wiring instructions or escrow arrangements if applicable.
State the post-money valuation cap explicitly and show the calculation method used to determine the investor's percentage ownership after the financing.
Include any discount to the next round price and explain how the discount interacts with the valuation cap on conversion.
Specify events causing conversion (qualified financing, liquidity event, dissolution) and the formulas used for share issuance at conversion.
Include standard company and investor reps regarding authority, securities compliance, accredited status, and absence of conflicts or encumbrances.
