One of the tougher things to do as an emerging manager is avoid marking your book to SAFE caps Fundraising is hard, and you want to show LPs portfolio progress It goes something like this: 2 months into raising, a company you seeded raises $5, $50, even $500M(!) Maybe it’s an institutional lead, maybe it’s SPV capital Press announces the cap as the “Valuation”…good air cover! But the fact is, the dollars came in on a SAFE with a cap What do you do? Do you take the mark? Do you footnote it? Ignore it completely? Do you tweet about it and take a victory lap, but keep the mark flat? Hard question!
