More about this matter.

Advance subscription agreement x SAFE

Our agreement is an 'advance subscription agreement for future equity' (ASAFE). It's short and simple to understand. It mirrors the structure of the Y-Combinator SAFE but uses modern English style drafting. It's designed to be compliant with UK requirements such as a longstop date for conversion for those investors that wish to claim SEIS or EIS relief on their shares.

Deal with multiple investors simultaneously

The same terms can apply to every investor, or you can tweak them for each one. Each investor receives their own private tailored document as part of the same circulation process.

Further guidance included

A deal overview memo gives you full oversight of the entire matter. We also include information letters for each investor outlining the terms of their specific investment which even includes a projection of how their respective investments might convert.

What happens next?

Ever wonder how the SAFE actually converts to shares? Our equity investment matter automatically takes into account any future equity agreements you close through the platform, automatically calculating the correct numbers of shares to be issued to each advance subscriber.
