In our inaugural episode of FounderXVC, we delved into the diverse array of investors, including angels, venture capitalists (VC), venture builders, corporate venture capital (CVC), and more. Understanding the distinctions between these investor types is crucial for entrepreneurs seeking funding, as each offers unique advantages and considerations.
Next session, our focus will shift toward exploring the concept of a SAFE note. A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) note is a popular financial instrument used in early-stage fundraising. It allows startups to raise capital without having to determine an exact valuation of the company at the time of investment, providing flexibility for both the founders and investors.
