All or nothing: reach your target and every commitment becomes a Crowd SAFE.
A Crowd SAFE turns into shares only if the company later raises a priced round or is acquired.
For backers
Back founders at the very beginning.
Anyone in the US can back a raise, within the yearly limits set by federal crowdfunding rules.

Crowd SAFE, signed
Backing early-stage companies comes with real risk. A Crowd SAFE pays only if the company later raises a priced round or is acquired, and it may never do either.
Your portfolio in one place
Everything you've backed, its updates and its documents.

Most startups don't make it. A Crowd SAFE only pays if the company later raises a priced round or is acquired. Back people because you believe in them.
