Convertible Note vs Post-Money SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) - Which is Best?

Sometimes a Convertible Note is the right answer, but overall the SAFE is more favorable to the entrepreneur than the Convertible Note. The two have much in common: both are convertible securities, both can have (but don't have to have) a discount and/or a valuation cap. Both present challenges in terms of understanding the resulting founder dilution, since that can vary greatly depending on the pre-money value of the later funding round that converts the note or SAFE to stock. Advantages of the SAFE include no maturity date, no interest, and it is not debt on the balance sheet. On the other hand, some investors prefer the Convertible Note and for those investors, it may be easier to close the round if you use a convertible note.
