The Italian version of the Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) – Subscription Agreement for Future Equity
Linklaters Italy makes available to founders and investors the Italian version of SAFE, an off-the-shelf template of agreement ready to fund the first steps of an innovative company.
Linklaters Italy worked on the creation of the Italian version of SAFE in collaboration with Italian Tech Alliance along with professionals from Growth Capital and law firm Portolano Cavallo, with the aim of making available to founders and investors a contractual arrangement in line with the spirit of the Y-Combinator post-money SAFE but at the same time consistent with the Italian legal system.
