I will draft your safe agreements, convertible notes, and shareholder documents ppm
Your Strategic Legal Partner for Startup Growth Funding
About this Gig
Securing your first investment with a SAFE or Convertible Note? Don't forget the foundational documents that define founder relationships.
Early-stage fundraising instruments like SAFEs (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) and Convertible Notes are popular for a reason: they are fast and efficient. But using a generic template without understanding the terms can create major problems down the road.
As a licensed US Attorney (Catalina Liliana Gracia, #298298), I draft and customize these crucial agreements. More importantly, I can pair them with a robust Shareholder Agreement to prevent future founder disputes.
I specialize in:
- SAFEs: Pre-money or post-money, based on the Y Combinator standard, customized for your valuation cap and discount.
- Convertible Notes: For when you need a debt instrument that converts to equity, with clear interest rates and maturity dates.
- Shareholder Agreements (SHA): The "pre-nup" for your business. It governs founder rights, vesting, stock transfers, and what happens if a founder leaves.

FAQ
Is this service considered legal advice?
My services constitute legal information and document drafting based on the information you provide. This gig does not create an attorney-client relationship. All documents are customized to your specific needs.
What is the difference between a SAFE and a Convertible Note?
A SAFE is an agreement to provide you equity in the future; it is not debt. A Convertible Note is a loan that converts to equity. It has an interest rate and a maturity date, at which point it may need to be repaid if no conversion occurs.
Pre-money SAFE or Post-money SAFE? Which one should I use?
Post-money SAFEs (the newer standard) provide investors more clarity on their ownership percentage, as it's calculated after their investment is included. We can discuss which is more appropriate for your situation.
Why do I need a Shareholder Agreement if I have a SAFE?
A SAFE governs the relationship between the company and an investor. A Shareholder Agreement governs the relationship between the co-founders, covering critical issues like vesting, decision-making, and exit scenarios.
What is a Cap Table?
A Capitalization Table (Cap Table) is a spreadsheet that lists all the securities your company has issued (stock, options, SAFEs, etc.) and who owns them. The Premium package includes a template to help you manage this.
Can you modify a standard YC SAFE?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages are designed for situations where you need to add, remove, or modify clauses in the standard Y Combinator SAFE agreement to fit your negotiated deal terms.
