It identifies approaches to avoid or lessen the impact of pitfalls. And it discusses strategies to address the interaction between parties to the smart contract and legal authorities. The legal contract that is implemented is the simple agreement for future equity (or SAFE), which is widely used for financing startup companies. The analysis of this contract has the additional advantage that it clarifies issues in the conversion of a SAFE contract to equity that are a source of confusion in practice. This book is of interest to anyone in the field of digital finance, as well as to venture capitalists and entrepreneurs making use of SAFEs.Blockchain Technologies,2661-8346Blockchains (Databases)New business enterprisesFinanceSocial sciencesMathematicsArtificial intelligenceBlockchainEntrepreneurial FinanceMathematics in Business, Economics and FinanceArtificial IntelligenceBlockchains (Databases)New business enterprisesFinance.Social sciencesMathematics.Artificial intelligence.Blockchain.Entrepreneurial Finance.Mathematics in Business, Economics and Finance.Artificial Intelligence.005.824005.74van der Meyden Ron1751913Maher Michael J115363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911031573603321Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFE)4443336UNINA
