SAFE Agreement - $250k Angel Investment
The Y Combinator SAFE: Valuation Cap, No Discount (US) is designed to let startups raise early capital by granting investors the right to future equity at a capped valuation, without offering any additional discount at conversion. Unlike other SAFEs, this version excludes the percentage discount mechanism (which normally gives investors shares at a reduced price), relying only on the valuation cap to protect investors. It is part of Y Combinator’s widely adopted library of open, lawyer-vetted standard financing documents.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
