Starting a Small SAFE Round After Analyzing $10M+ in Contract Value
Not because “AI is hot.”
Mainly because I’m starting to see a consistent pattern:
people upload contracts when the financial risk is real.
Over the last months:
• 90+ contracts analyzed
• $10M+ in total contract value reviewed
• agreements ranging from ~$40K to $6.7M+
Started as a simple experiment.
Now seeing repeat usage, real workflows, and consistent behavior patterns before contracts get signed.
Still very early.
Still learning fast.
Recently started reaching out to a few angels/operators around the space and would genuinely love to hear what worked for other founders during their first SAFE round.

That's a pretty rare position to be in - $10M+ in contracts usually means you've got real leverage with VCs, so what's driving the decision to keep the SAFE small rather than negotiate a bigger round?
makes sense - seeing real usage before raising changes everything
looks like you’re raising based on signal, not hype, that’s a strong position early
Appreciate it - that’s exactly the goal right now.
If anyone here has experience with early SAFE rounds, angel outreach, or building investor relationships as a solo founder - would genuinely love to connect and learn.
Always open to conversations with people building in AI, B2B SaaS, or workflow infrastructure.
