Fundraising Legal

SAFEs, SAFTs, token warrants and term sheets, drafted and negotiated by a team that works on crypto rounds every week.

From the team behind Initia's launch

One raise, five stages.
Every document accounted for.

From first term sheet to funds in the account. Toggle if your round includes token rights. AI and robotics rounds run the same five stages without it.

Straight answers

Do you use standard documents?

Yes. We start from the YC post-money SAFE and widely used SAFT and token warrant forms, adapted for crypto rounds: token rights, network launch definitions, lockups. For AI and robotics companies raising without a token, it's the plain SAFE and equity round documents. Standard where it saves you money, bespoke where it protects you.

How fast can documents go out?

First drafts in days, not weeks. Closing speed then depends on your investors, and we keep the issues list short so they have less to argue with.

Can you act for the investor side?

Yes, on other deals, so we know what investors push for. We run a conflict check before every engagement.

We're not a crypto company. Can you still run our round?

Yes. A SAFE or priced round for an AI or robotics company uses the same documents minus the token pieces.
