Frequently Asked Questions

How do SAFE notes convert at the next round?
Standard SAFEs use a valuation cap and discount. At the next priced round, the SAFE converts at the lower of (a) the cap-implied price per share and (b) the discount-applied price. The calculator works through both routes and shows the converted share count.
Why does liquidation preference matter so much?
Liquidation preference determines who gets paid first in an exit. A 1x non-participating preference means investors get their money back OR convert to common (whichever is higher). Multiples and participating preferences (2x, 3x participating) can swallow most of an exit's value before founders see anything — model both before signing a term sheet.
