Choose Your SAFE Type
The type of SAFE determines how your investor's ownership is calculated when the SAFE converts. We strongly recommend the post-money SAFE with valuation cap.
Market Context (2024-2025)
85% of early-stage rounds now use SAFEs. Of those, 61% use a valuation cap only, 30% use both cap and discount, and only 8% use discount alone. Post-money SAFEs are the standard — pre-money was deprecated by YC in 2018.
