Launch FAQs

How much equity do I have to give away?

Jubile Tech Incubator gets equity equivalent to its cash investment into your business in the form of a SAFE note. The SAFE note converts in the future once you are valuated and raise your seed round, which is when the exact equity is calculated. For example, if we invest $100K in you with a valuation cap of $3M, when your company raises that amount, we will own 3,33% of its stock.
