Convertible Note

A Convertible Note is an investment agreement between an early stage company and an investor. The Convertible Note allows the company to receive capital while not distributing shares to investors until a future date. The investment amount is a loan from the investor to the company.

When should I use it?

  • It is typically used by early stage companies who have not yet distributed shares to outside investors.

Why is it important?

  • It helps early-stage companies raise capital quickly without negotiating a clear valuation. That company valuation is not determined until a later round of funding.

Tips

  • Understand Key Terms: The terms of the Convertible Note should be discussed with your co-founders, existing investors, and advisors so that it properly reflects the terms of investment and the company’s best interests.
