How do I explain SAFE+ to investors?

SAFE+ is the modern standard for startups fundraising. Learn more about how it works here.

Here's a copy-paste template for how to explain SAFE+ to your investors:

For existing investors that have already signed a SAFE note

Hi [investor name],

Excited to share that we're migrating our SAFE notes to be managed under SAFE Plus. Some info below:

SAFE Plus is a new standard in startup fundraising built on top of the standard SAFE note. With the exact same economic interest of a SAFE note, it comes with a number of new benefits, like:

  • A simple, streamlined investing experience
  • Automated compliance to keep your investment in line with securities laws
  • Automated annual taxes

SAFE Plus is a win-win for both investors and startups. For us, grouping all our SAFE notes under one entity saves us overhead on legal and compliance costs with a cleaner cap table. On your end, you'll have to fill out much less paperwork as we scale. Learn more about SAFE Plus here.

Next steps are pretty simple: click the link below to review and sign the SAFE Plus agreement. If you've already wired, you can ignore the wiring instructions. Once everyone has signed, we'll cancel the previous SAFE note issued to you in favor of the new SAFE Plus note.
