You can choose which document fit your needs - SAFE or Convertible Promissory Note - by reading our article. And you can read about features of TS here.
We offer to help you with the first transactions and to explain all the risks and consequences associated with their terms.
In some cases, before entering into a SAFE and CPN, you may need to secure the main terms of the future investment deal in a Term Sheet (TS). The TS is usually concluded if there is no company yet, no registered IP or no capacity to accept the investment.
Мы предлагаем помочь Вам с первыми сделками и разъяснить все риски и последствия, связанные с их условиями.

What are the differences in the packages?
The module "Attracting investment in the USA" includes two packages:
The "Arrangements package" Term Sheet
The package includes preparation, drafting of Term Sheet, Term Sheet consultation and signing - 30 minutes.
A Term Sheet may be required for preliminary securing of the agreement between the parties before entering into the main investment deal.
You can read more about the features of a Term Sheet in our article.
SAFE or Convertible Promissory Note package
The package includes a contract template for one of your choice - SAFE (simple agreement for future equity) or Convertible Promissory Note, drafting of the special conditions of the contract, consultation on the contract and signing - 30 minutes.
SAFE and Convertible Promissory Note are constructs by which a company receives an investment in exchange for giving the investor shares in the company.
SAFE is more attractive to startups as it does not involve a return of money with interest to the investor.
Convertible Promissory Note may be interesting for investors as the investor can get the money back with interest in any case.
In order to help you decide, we have prepared a special article on the features of each agreement.
