Launch · Step 2 of 5
Know your terms before the investor says yes.
Model a term sheet, compare scenarios side by side, and keep a clean record of every SAFE. When the yes comes, you already know what you'll accept.
Saves time
Company name, cap table and co-founder split are already in. “Convert to SAFE” pre-fills a SAFE from any term sheet.
Saves money
See the dilution from valuation, option pool and preferences before you agree to them, not after.
Solid footing
Every SAFE is tracked from draft to sent to signed to closed, so nothing gets lost between conversations.
The 2 activities in this step
Each one hands its answer to the next, so you never start from a blank page.
Activity 1
Term Sheet
Model the deal before you negotiate it.
The usual way
Read a term sheet for the first time when an investor sends one.
With ViableBrand
Sliders for valuation, investment and option pool, plus liquidation preference, board seat and anti-dilution terms. Save named scenarios and compare any two side by side, with dilution charts drawn from your own cap table.
You walk away with: Saved term sheet scenarios with the dilution each one causes.
Activity 2
SAFE Note
Record each SAFE's terms in one place.
The usual way
Terms scattered across emails and PDFs, with no running view of who holds what.
With ViableBrand
A four-step wizard captures investor, amount, valuation cap, discount, MFN and pro-rata rights, and shows the ownership implied at the cap.
You walk away with: A tracked record of every SAFE and its status.
What comes in
Your cap table from Equity (or co-founder split from Foundation) and your company name from Formation.
What goes forward
A clear view of ownership after each round, ready for your next cap table update.
These tools record and model terms. Your attorney prepares and issues the actual documents; term sheets are non-binding and SAFEs are binding, so have counsel review both.
Walk into the raise prepared.
