You Signed a SAFE. Now what?
Most founders have no idea what their SAFEs turn into at the next priced round. This tool shows you the math before you sit across from a lawyer.
You raised pre-seed on SAFEs. Smart. Fast. Clean.
Now you are closing your Series A. Someone just sent you a term sheet with a pre-money valuation, a new option pool, and 3 convertible instruments that all need to convert simultaneously.
And you have no idea what your cap table looks like after that happens.
This is the moment most founders realize they should have understood the math earlier.
The SAFE was simple to sign. The conversion is not simple to understand. Caps, discounts, pro-rata rights, MFN clauses, option pool expansion, liquidation preferences, they all interact with each other in ways that are genuinely hard to track without a tool that shows the work.
That tool now exists. We built it:
