Cash Amount

The cash investment is paid by SOSV directly to your Company, usually on a tranched basis, over the course of the SOSV Program (either HAX or IndieBio). The Cash SAFE will set out:

  • how the cash  will be paid i.e. via bank transfer in US dollars;
  • when the cash amount will be paid i.e. $X,000 on arrival at the Program and execution of the SAFE, $X0,000 on day 30 and so on;
  • any milestones that must be met before a tranche of the cash amount will be paid;
  • how the SAFE will convert.
