SAFE and SAFT: A Reliable Path to Raising Investments

SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) and SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) have revolutionized the way startups and blockchain projects attract funding. SAFE is ideal for early-stage companies and allows them to quickly raise capital, with investors gaining the right to convert their investment into equity after a triggering event (such as the next financing round). SAFT, in turn, is designed for blockchain startups planning token launches, helping them get funding even before the tokens are created. Both require expert legal support to ensure the agreements are well-structured, compliant with KYC/AML requirements, and secure both for the startup and the investor. Prikhodko & Partners' team combines over 16 years of fintech, corporate, and international law experience to guide clients through analysis, risk assessment, English-language agreement drafting, and negotiation with venture funds and private investors. By choosing our SAFE/SAFT support, you ensure the legal protection and legitimacy of your investment process, avoid regulatory pitfalls, and increase your startup’s appeal to global investors.
