The Simple Agreement for Future Equity is a popular financial instrument among Philippine startups looking to raise capital. SAFE allows startups to raise funds without diluting their ownership and control over the business. Additionally, it is faster, less complex, and less expensive than traditional equity financing.
They are accounted for as equity on the balance sheet. When the Simple Agreement for Future Equity converts to preferred stock, the accounting entries are that the SAFE entry is removed and the amount is credited to preferred equity (ignoring any APIC implications).
For example, if a SAFE has a valuation cap of $10 million, and your startup's next financing round values the company at $15 million, the SAFE investor's equity will be calculated based on the $10 million cap, not the $15 million valuation.
A "liquidity event" is often defined to mean either an IPO or other listing of the company's stock on a national stock exchange or a sale of the company or other change of control of the company.
A Simple Agreement for Future s is a contract between a blockchain developer and a buyer, who contributes a certain amount of capital for the promise of an equal amount of s when the project meets specific goals. An SAFT is similar to an SAFE, which is for equity.
SAFE Note Example For example, an investor purchases a SAFE note from your startup with a valuation cap of $10M. Your company's value is set at $20M at $10/share during the subsequent funding round. The SAFE note will convert based on the valuation cap of $10M.
