This is one of the most effective lectures i have ever taken. Kudos to the lecturer
Honestly the history of before vs. after was incredibly valuable as someone that never lived the "before" part. Thank you.
This was great! Very insightful. Consolidated a lot of what i learnt from previous videos on the same topic.
Carolynn is modest; Carolynn actually wrote the original Safe (and maybe the revised post-money Safe)
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate, I was referred by Ted, he helped me throughout the whole process with no extra cost. This is my referral as promised

Wow, didn't know that
This lady is remarkably coherent for a financial type.
It's because she's not. She's a lawyer.
Great learning to know ABC of fundraising in simple manner
Many thanks Carolyne. This is very helpful. 🙏
Excellent presentation and excellent Q and A.
Incredibly consise and informative lecture, thanks!
Very clear presentation!
Awesome lecture
Its helpful for startups
Great Video
Thank you.
Is there anyway you can share that document you said you recently created?
Thanks Carolynn? Anyone know what the last asker asked? Padded agent? Did Carolynn answer him in the ama and is that on the web?
The 4 SAFE documents are all for accredited investors. Can you create one for non-accredited investors?
@@user-uy6yk5qk8l unfortunately it appears their Crowd SAFE is built off the original pre-money valuation instead of post-money which is the SAFE of choice today
Can we use safe in countries in other than North America?
I didn't watch the Q and A at the end so forgive me if this was answered.
How has dilution not changed? Companies like Pipe are huge now and they're totally non-dilutive.
In fact i came across a company called fundstory that has a bunch of these financers that are 100% non dilutive and I'm sure theres more than that.
So why does she say dilution hasn't changed?? Did i miss something?
What about doing a convertible note where you have the “option “ to pay it back , with interest, and a small equity bonus as a thank you - anyone heard of this ?
did you watch? Convertible notes where originally used as bridge loans between rounds and then they started being used as SEED and PRESEED. Not ideal because it still takes that negotiation time and shows as debt on the companies books. The SAFE is meant to get the money fast so that Founders can build their company.
"Corner case" = Toptal, super profitable
Zapier!
Ikr :)
any books on this?
Venture deals is a good book
I would LOVE to know which company took that $50 Million Safe lol
Who’s looking at equity crowdfunding these days
Hi
Video used a lot of jargon without explaining any of it. Funny how the last video told you to not use jargon and not tell long stories, but the next video does exactly that
Don't wry 90 % start up founders don't know this.. But just learn day by day
His point is invest early. Better to know this, yet is all right to know these things later as lknv as you can survive

Stay hydrated.
TIL: Warhammer is less complicated than fundraising.
Why does YC need so many partners. Need to be more selective.
Why ?
Made it much clearer for me what's the modern way 👍
Is the AMA session Carolynn mentioned at the end available online?
