01The next round's lawyer asks

"Five, one clean form. The index lists every instrument."
SAFE agreements · Singapore
A SAFE is one page of termsand years of consequences.
SAFEs drafted and reviewed by a senior Singapore lawyer who models what they convert into before you sign. Fixed scope, fixed price, back within days: most founders start with the capped 10 hour contract bundle.
Every line above moves your ownership at the next round. That is why we model it instead of skimming it.
What you are actually signing
What a SAFE actually is.
A SAFE is a : money now, shares later, priced by your next round. The price is set by the and the , and quiet clauses like and decide what your cap table looks like after it converts.
Tap a highlighted term for the plain-English version.
Declassified
simple agreement for future equity
An investor gives you money now for shares later, priced at your next round. Invented by Y Combinator, and now the default early-stage instrument in Singapore too.
In plain terms: a SAFE is cheap to sign and expensive to misunderstand.
The problem we remove
The template was free. The conversion is not.
Put both versions of your SAFE stack in front of the priced round and read the difference. Same four questions, asked the way the round's lawyers ask them. Only one set of answers keeps your percentage.
02The next round's lawyer asks
02 / 04What do the caps and discounts convert into at this valuation?
Template signers
"That is a good question."
With a reviewed stack
"Modelled before every signature. Here is the table, to the percentage point."
03The next round's lawyer asks
03 / 04One of these has an MFN clause. Did your later terms trigger it?
Template signers
"Which one has an MFN clause?"
With a reviewed stack
"Tracked when it was signed, honoured once, documented."
04The next round's lawyer asks
04 / 04Are there side letters we should know about?
Template signers
"There were a couple of emails around the second one."
With a reviewed stack
"Two, indexed in the data room next to their instruments."
05Who reads them now
The stakes
Daniel KungReviewing lawyer 30%+of the company gone at conversion is a real outcome
Founders routinely discover at the priced round what five stacked caps and discounts add up to. By then, every term is already signed.
Every SAFE read, modelled and indexed before you sign, on a capped fixed price, so the priced round opens a folder instead of an investigation.
The second voice is not luck. It is what a reviewed stack sounds like, and keeping it that way costs less than one surprised percentage point.
How the bundle works
Fixed scope, fixed price, days not weeks.
The capped 10 hour contract bundle is built for exactly this. Swipe through a SAFE engagement, start to finish.
Continuously updated
- Day 0Call
A free 15 minute call. You explain the raise; we confirm the bundle covers it and put the fixed price in writing.
- Day 1Scope
You send the SAFEs, or we start from a clean form. The scope note lists every document and the date it comes back.
- Day 2Review
Every term read, and the whole stack modelled: what converts, at what price, and who owns what afterwards.
- Day 3Redlines
You get a marked-up draft plus a one-page plain-English memo: what we changed, what we flagged, and what we would not sign.
- Day 4Negotiation
Investor pushback handled in writing. Most points settle in one turn, because the asks are standard and reasoned.
- Day 5Signature
Final versions out for e-signature, with the conversion model saved next to them for the next round's lawyer.
- AfterOn file
Everything lands in one indexed folder: instruments, side letters, model. Your future data room says thank you.
One capped price, agreed before we start. If it takes us longer, that is our problem, not your invoice.
Everything this covers
Everything a SAFE touches, covered.
Most engagements fit the capped 10 hour bundle. If yours will not, we say so on the free call, before any work starts.
