Congratulations on completing a seed round! πŸŽ‰
​
We understand completing a seed round is extensive work - updating your cap table will be the last step! Please follow the instructions below to update your cap table with the new Preferred shares and convert your SAFEs/CNs.

  1. Add the new Preferred share class(es) on the left navigation bar under Cap Table β†’ Share Classes β†’ select Add a Share Class β†’ fill out the form, then at the bottom select Save & Continue.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  2. Add the new Preferred shares to the cap table by selecting +New (top left) β†’ Existing Contract β†’ Shares β†’ fill out the form, then at the bottom, select Save & Continue. Our system needs the Preferred shares to be added into the cap table first before converting the SAFEs/Convertible Notes.
    ​

    Note: Even after conversion, the capital contribution associated with SAFEs or CNs remains attributed to them, not to the preferred shares. Therefore, when drafting the preferred shares, ensure that the capital contribution field is set to "0". This step is crucial to maintaining an accurate cap table.
    ​

3. To convert your SAFEs/Convertible Notes, go to Cap Table β†’ select the SAFE or Convertible Notes tab. On the right of the screen, select the white Actions button β†’ Convert Notes.
​
​

  • Enter the closing date of the round β†’ select Confirm.
    ​
    ​

  • On the Convert Note page β†’ next to each SAFE/ Convertible Note on the left side there is a column called 'Convert to'. Select from the drop down menu attached to each security and connect to the appropriate Preferred Share you previously entered. Once all are linked, select Convert Selected Notes.
    ​
    ​

    • The Debt Cancelled column should equal the principal amount of the SAFE/Convertible Note
      ​
      ​

  • Attach all appropriate documentation directly on the recorded shares from step 2 (adding preferred shares) under the Attachments section
