E88: Understanding SAFEs and Why Angel Investors Try to Avoid Them
SAFE, an acronym for Simple Agreement for Future Equity, represents a widely adopted investment instrument, with the current industry-standard forms available on the YCombinator website.
In this insightful interview, David engages in a discussion with Matt Dunbar, a Managing Director at VentureSouth and an expert on SAFEs.
The conversation delves into the origins and purpose of the SAFE, and provides a comprehensive examination of its advantages, disadvantages, and evolution with the post-money SAFE in 2018.
The discussion further explores the factors contributing to some Angel Investors' reservations about SAFEs, while acknowledging their increasing popularity as a preferred choice in investment agreements.
