Webinar Overview

SAFE is an acronym for Simple Agreement for Future Equity.

In the world of startup funding, founders are always on the lookout for simple, fast, and creative ways to raise capital. It is for this reason that Y Combinator introduced SAFE notes in 2013, providing startups with a simplified way to structure seed investments, eliminating the need for interest rates, maturity dates, or valuation caps.

Since then, SAFE note agreements have risen to popularity, with tech start-ups in Silicon Valley using them frequently. In this webinar, attendees will hear how a Kentucky-based startup, Rave On Sports, used SAFE notes to help raise capital for their company.

They will provide an overview of their company, how SAFE notes work, their experience with the process, and how you can leverage them for your startup.
