What is a SAFE?

A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is an investment vehicle that converts to equity when certain conditions are met (usually when the company raises more money). You can learn more about how SAFEs work here.

What are the terms of the Campus Founders Fund SAFE?

Our SAFE is the most founder-friendly out there. The SAFE is uncapped with a 0% discount. The SAFE converts to equity when the company raises a priced equity round of at least $100k. At that point, CFF receives equity for our investment at that round's valuation. The CFF SAFE also contains a Most Favored Nation clause for subsequent SAFEs that are raised.

What if my company is already raising money from a lead investor?

Our goal is to make fundraising as easy as possible for our founders. If your company is actively raising a round of funding or has already set investment terms with a lead investor, CFF is happy to participate as a co-investor in the syndicate on the same terms of the existing round.

If the company fails, do the founders have to repay the money?

No. We understand the risk we are taking by investing in founders at the earliest stage. In the worst-case scenario, we hope entrepreneurs push their limits, challenge conventional wisdom, test compelling ideas, and then share their learning with others, knowing that success is one step closer than before.
