Early-stage startups often choose a Simple Agreement for Future Equity because it allows them to secure funding quickly without determining a company valuation too early. Since many startups are still developing their products and business models, establishing a fair valuation can be difficult. A SAFE postpones that discussion until a later funding round when more data is available. This approach saves time, lowers legal costs, and helps founders focus on growth. AngelSchool highlights SAFEs as one of the most founder-friendly fundraising options available for startups seeking early capital.
