safe-note

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Safe-note' refers to a document, a note in this case, secured from unauthorized access or alterations. It has more to do with protecting the note or just keeping it safe.

Examples in Different Contexts

In startup financing, a 'SAFE note' (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a financial instrument that allows investors to convert their investment into equity at a later date, typically during a future financing round or event. A startup founder might describe, 'We're raising initial funds through SAFE notes, providing early investors with the potential to convert to equity at a discount.'
