Unlocking Capital Faster: Navigating SAFE & Convertible Models With Cankat Şir, Partner at Karaçam & Şir
Free
On February 19, as part of the helo.land Workshop Series, we are hosting a session with Cankat Şir.
Early-stage funding often happens through SAFE or convertible instruments instead of a priced equity round. These models allow faster execution, but the terms inside them directly impact ownership and future rounds.
In this session, Cankat will explain how these instruments work, how investors evaluate them, and what founders should pay attention to before signing.
He works with founders on fundraising structures and advises venture funds and angel investors on deal terms, which brings a practical perspective from both sides of the table.
What You’ll Learn:
- SAFE vs Convertible: structural differences
- Valuation cap, discount, and conversion terms
- Founder-side risks and common mistakes
- How investors assess these models
- Preparing for the next priced round
