SAFE notes were a game-changer… in 2013. They gave founders a simpler way to raise early-stage capital — a subscription for future equity without all the friction of priced rounds.

In the past 2 years the market has changed. Startups today aren’t just burning cash for growth — they’re launching lean, with low/no-code, leveraging AI, keeping headcount down, and generating revenue from day one.

That’s why we created VEST Notes — the next evolution of the SAFE note:
  • Still a subscription for future equity — but designed for today’s funding environment
  • Flexible raise amounts — $100K to $1M, in one or multiple rounds
  • Converts to equity at the right time — not tied to a Series A that may never come
  • Keeps founders in control, with greater retained equity
  • Aligns investors with the founder’s real goals: fast ARR, profitability, and running lean”

Why This Could Be the Most Valuable Hour
You Spend on Your Startup This Year

In just one hour, you’ll see why traditional VC and SAFE note funding no longer fit today’s lean, AI-powered, revenue-first startups — and how the VEST Note is giving founders a faster, smarter path to raise $100K–$1M while keeping more equity. You’ll learn what makes this model different, why it’s perfectly timed for the 2025 funding landscape, and leave with a clear 90-day plan you can act on immediately.

  • Built for the 2025 startup reality — lean, AI-powered, and revenue-first
