Pitfalls of SAFEs + The Impact of Down Rounds
In an ever-evolving market, the decisions founders make during fundraising can greatly impact their startup's growth trajectory. Founders who raised at the peak of the market with stacked SAFES and SAFES with extremely high valuation caps are now needing to adjust to a down market both in how they run their companies and execute future fundraises.
Join us in a critical workshop with Michael Gorback, partner at Hanson Bridgett, to understand and tackle the unrecognized risks and legal implications that may arise from SAFEs as companies navigate uncertain market conditions.
Key Takeaways:
Demystifying SAFEs: Gain a deeper understanding of SAFEs, including typically overlooked considerations that every founder should be aware of
The Common Pitfalls: Learn about the regular missteps founders take during financing rounds and how to avoid them in the future
Strategizing in Challenging Situations: How to manage complex challenges involving SAFEs
