USING CONVERTIBLE NOTE
BROUGHT TOYOU BY
LAWTRADES
HERE IS A FACT…
FUNDRAISING IS DIFFICULT…
TIME-CONSUMING…
EXHAUSTING…
SCARY…
EXPENSIVE…
...
YOU’RE ALONE AGAINST SO MANY INVESTORS…
…BUT WHAT YOU WANT IS TO GET THE
CHECK AND START GROWINGYOUR STARTUP
THERE ARE 2WAYS TO FUNDRAISE
OPTION A: EQUITY ROUND
Equity is issued to an investor in exchange for his capital
OPTION B: CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Effectively a loan that converts to equity, given to the company by an investor
WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE…?
IF IT’S A SEED ROUND…
IF IT’S A SEED ROUND…
IT’S THE CONVERTIBLE NOTE!
WHY?
BECAUSE IT’S EASIER AND FASTER TO USE A NOTE
WHY?
NO VALUATION NECCESSARY
You get the check, investor get’s better valuation during the next round
SMALL LEGAL FEES
$2,000 or less, as opposed to up to $30,000 for equity round
Comes from much less
complicated paperwork
NO SHARE-HOLDER’S RIGHTS
No Board Seat, No veto-power, No “Protective Provision”
=
You keep full control of your startup
DIFFERENTIATED PRICING
No matter how many investors, you can negotiate different terms
with each of the interested parties
AND IT ALL HELPS GET THAT CHECK FAST
Address / city / State / zip code
your name
from
amount
purpose
