I want to raise €500k on a post-money SAFE with a 20% discount and a €2.5m cap. How much equity do I give away?

You “give away” a 16% stake in your company.

Ready to calculate how much equity you sell with your SAFE?

  1. Decide on how much money you need to achieve your first milestone
  2. Set the discount on the SAFE
  3. Estimate the SAFE investor’s post-money valuation cap
  4. Forecast how much money you need to achieve your second milestone
  5. Predict the pre-money valuation for your first priced round
