How the Series Seed (equity investment) Works

What type of funding instrument will you use for your next funding round?

• A convertible note?
• The original SAFE (Simple Agreement for Equity) or the modified 2018 version (which is very different)?
• Or an equity round based on standardized terms such as the Series Seed?

There are many things to understand and many trade-offs to consider in selecting your approach to funding. In this series of online programs, we will describe each of these funding approaches, explain the key terms, and help you be prepared to make an informed decision about which fund-raising approach is a fit for your company.

We’ll publish, one at a time, a detailed video explaining each funding approach. You’ll probably have questions! So shortly after posting each video, we’ll answer your questions in a live-stream video session. The presenters will be Steve Morris, Executive Director at OTBC and Ernie Bootsma, Partner at Ater Wynne LLP.
