The detail
What it means in practice.
A SAFE isn't debt and isn't stock. It's a promise of shares when the company next raises a priced round, usually under a valuation cap or at a discount. It's the standard first investment document for US startups and assumes a corporation with shares to issue. An LLC can't cleanly issue one, which is one reason investors ask founders to convert.
