The Investing Instruments Of Tyke<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are various ways to invest in a start-up with Tyke. However, with investment comes a lot of risks of losing your hard-earned money. To tackle this, Tyke has a feature known as a T-SAFE.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is T-SAFE<\/span><\/h3>\n

T-SAFE is created with the sole aim of protecting the interests of the investors and giving them a brief detail on the terms and conditions of the investments.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is very much similar to SAFE\u2013 An investing instrument widely used by Angel investors and VCs who invest in start-ups across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is primarily made for the companies with investing campaigns having hundreds or even thousands of investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T-SAFE offers a financial stake to the investors in the start-ups. However, this does not involve any equity rights. Now, this financial status basically means a CCD(Compulsory Convertible Debenture) during the time of issue. Later, this gets converted into equity in the event of acquisition or IPO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, T-SAFE supports four different types of Investing Instruments on the platform. Let\u2019s understand how they work.<\/span><\/p>\n
