Frequently Asked Questions

Does this package include vesting?

Yes. Standard vesting structures (such as four-year vesting with a one-year cliff) can be included upon request. More complex or custom vesting arrangements may require a separate engagement.

What type of SAFE is included?

This package includes a standard SAFE commonly used in early-stage fundraising. We discuss key terms such as valuation caps, discounts, and MFN provisions so founders understand how the SAFE affects ownership.

Does this package include tax or valuation advice?

No. This package does not include tax planning, 409A valuations, or accounting advice. Those services require separate professionals or engagements.

Is this a substitute for fundraising legal counsel?

No. This package prepares founders for fundraising but does not replace full legal representation in a financing round. Seed rounds and preferred stock financings require separate engagements.
