A Simple Agreement For Future Equity (SAFE) is a cash investment now in exchange for a contract that gives the investor the right to convert their investment into equity in the future.

SAFEs were made popular by the startup accelerator Y Combinator, and have since been adopted by numerous accelerators and have become the standard for online regulation crowdfunding raise for startups.

A SAFE is NOT a loan and it's also NOT equity (yet). A SAFE is worthless if the company fails or the trigger events never happen.

Why are SAFEs used?
A Simple Agreement For Future Equity addresses two problems:
1. What the valuation should be of an early stage startup.
2. Time & money required to create elaborate investment documents.
