Domande frequenti
What is the difference between a convertible note and a SAFE?
A note is debt with interest and a maturity date that can technically be called; a SAFE is not debt, has neither, and cannot be called.
What happens at a note’s maturity date?
If no priced round has occurred, the note is technically repayable; in practice holders usually extend, convert at an agreed valuation, or negotiate.
