A SAFE, or Simple Agreement for Future Equity, is a standardized investment instrument that allows businesses to raise capital without issuing shares immediately. Instead, the investor provides funds now with the agreement that the amount will convert into equity during a future priced funding round, often at a discount or with a valuation cap. There is no set maturity date, interest rate, or repayment schedule, which makes the structure simple and fast to execute. SAFEs are widely used in early-stage fundraising and are especially popular in the tech and startup ecosystem.

If your company is gaining traction and needs capital quickly—but wants to delay valuation negotiations—SAFE investments offer breathing room. You secure early support without complicating your cap table or adding financial pressure. It allows you to focus on building momentum now, while aligning with investors who believe in your future upside.
