Can you give a specific example of how I will pay you back after I borrow $100k?
It sounds like I have to return the $100k, plus some percentage of equity (in lieu of interest). If so, this sounds like an option for angels to take a position in a YC-backed company, and it would be friendly towards founders to label this product as equity financing and describe how the equity percentage is calculated.
- rchachra 5y agoWhen you borrow $100k you repay the principal or $100k after your Demo Day fund raise and in lieu of interest we will receive a $20k uncapped MFN SAFE. In case the startup fails to raise sufficient funds to make the repayment, then the entire principal will be converted in a SAFE at a pre-agreed cap.
- dustingetz 5y agoWhat is the repayment term, 3 months?
- rchachra 5y ago6 months is the standard Demo Day note but can be reduced to 3 months on a pro-rata basis.
- GordonS 5y agoSorry, what are "SAFE" and "MFN SAFE"?
- zachthewf 5y agoSafes are the most common way for startups to raise seed today. You can read about them here: https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/#about https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/#about
