Startup Fundraising

These guides cover the legal side of raising money for a startup: whether to take venture capital in the first place, how SAFEs work, and what dilution means for your ownership. As the series grows, it will take on the other instruments, terms, and decisions founders face when they raise.

If you’re raising now, our startup financing practice handles the documents themselves. Reading these first will help you understand the impact of a fundraising transaction.

How Post-Money SAFEs Shift Dilution to Founders

The post-money SAFE promises investors a fixed percentage of the company, so each additional SAFE you sign comes out of your ownership rather than theirs.

SAFE Cap Table: How Multiple SAFEs Stack

A worked example of several SAFEs with different caps converting at once, and why the combined dilution runs higher than founders expect.

What Is a SAFE? A Founder’s Guide to Simple Agreements for Future Equity

A plain-English explanation of how a SAFE works and what happens when you raise a priced round or have an exit.

SAFE Valuation Cap: Why This Number Matters

The valuation cap sets the maximum price at which a SAFE converts, which makes it the number that determines how much of your company an investor’s check buys.

Pros and Cons of Venture Capital: What Founders Need to Know Before Raising

What venture money buys you, what it costs in control and exit timing, and when it’s the wrong source of capital.
