We offer a range of investment deals tailored to your startup’s structure, with Priced Round and SAFE as primary options:
A priced round is a common way for startups to raise funds, where investors buy shares at a mutually agreed valuation. Consider this analogy: Your friend is launching a food truck and values the business at $50,000, having considered expenses and future potential. After reviewing the business, you agree with him and invest $10,000, which gives you 20% ownership. This investment deal is straightforward because the parties agreed on a valuation beforehand.
A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a way for startups to raise capital without setting a valuation right away. Instead of issuing shares immediately, they promise investors equity later, usually when they raise a bigger funding round or get acquired.
Consider this analogy: Your friend is launching a food truck business but isn’t sure of the total costs or whether additional funding will be needed to set up the truck. You then give $10,000 and in return, your friend promises you a share of the business once the path becomes clearer. After some time, once the foundational setup and necessary paperwork are complete, the food truck achieves an actual valuation of $80,000. At this point, your initial $10,000 investment will now convert into a 12.5% ownership stake.
For startups with established valuations, we offer priced round investments, while early-stage startups without formal valuations often opt for SAFE investments.
Our maximum investment in a startup is $2 million, as we typically aim to acquire a 5% to 10% equity stake in early-stage companies. However, if your startup operates in a specialized niche that falls outside our standard investment size or equity range, you’ll have the chance to address this during the valuation meeting.
