SeedLegals launches in the U.S. to slash the time and cost of startup fundraising

It’s official: SeedLegals has landed in the U.S.! After years of transforming how early-stage companies in the U.K. raise, we’re bringing our founder-first platform across the Atlantic to change U.S. fundraising forever.

Who are we?

SeedLegals is the go-to platform for startups fundraising in the U.K., trusted by over 60,000 companies. We combine powerful automation with phenomenal customer support to take the guesswork, stress and painfully high legal fees out of startup fundraising.

Log in to SeedLegals (try it free for 7 days) and you’ll find simple step-by-step workflows that explain exactly what you need and why, supported by data, how-to guides, videos, and an experienced team on call to help.

What’s the problem with fundraising and what are we doing about it?

It can cost as much as $30,000 or $50,000 for the legal fees to complete a funding round. Faced with costs like these, many founders kick the can down the road and download a SAFE agreement instead (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)—a deceptively simple document that lets startups take funds immediately in exchange for equity given at a later funding round.

But there are a couple of catches. Founders rely on SAFE after SAFE, only to still have to end up spending significant amounts on the formal funding round later. What’s more, while SAFEs can feel like a shortcut, they come with risks that aren’t always obvious. The Y Combinator post-money SAFE, for instance, can lead to substantial dilution if you’re not clear on how the mechanics work. And from our conversations with founders, it seems many are getting caught out and setting themselves up for more dilution than they bargained for.

Here’s the SeedLegals solution: for a small amount of money, and close to as easily as doing a YC SAFE, you can do a funding round or a SeedSAFE.

SeedLegals makes fundraising smarter and safer for founders—whether you need the simplicity of a SeedSAFE or the certainty of a priced round. No surprises, no unexpected and costly dilution, just straightforward support at every step.

What makes us different?

Built by founders for founders, our platform gives you control of your fundraising journey from start to finish.

You’ll find other platforms that help with cap tables and provide basic legal documentation. They’re designed with investors in mind, not to help founders avoid common pitfalls. Plus, they only help you solve one piece of the puzzle. With SeedLegals you don’t have to juggle multiple platforms or guess what the correct course of action is. Our platform not only creates the documents but also helps you make the right decisions for your company.

• A guided experience: Need to raise? We’ll help you issue your first SAFE, convert it into equity, and even guide you through a full funding round—all in one place. Each step is mapped out, so you know exactly what to do next.
• On-call support when you need it: You’re never left to figure things out on your own. Our team is available to chat whenever you need to clarify a step or explore your options.
• 24/7 access: Fundraising can happen at any time, so our platform is always on. Meet an investor at 11 pm? You can log in, get the right document, and keep things moving without missing a beat.

How does it work?

At its core, SeedLegals generates the essential legal documents you need. But we’re much more than a document provider.

Our goal is to give you everything you need to get the job done with confidence. When you come to SeedLegals with a task, you don’t just receive a document; you gain access to the knowledge, workflows, and tools that make the entire process straightforward.

With SeedLegals, you can:

• Build and manage a clear, investor-ready cap table
• Take an individual investment through SeedSAFE
• Create and negotiate all the legal documents you need for a priced round, with dedicated legal advice from our partner law firm.
• All with on-call support from our team when you need it

And we’re not stopping there. Stay tuned for updates, more services and exciting news about events. Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear about what we’re doing.
