VEST Notes Intro 

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”
