FAQ

Convertible notes are just like any other form of debt you'll need to pay back the principal plus interest. In an ideal world, a startup would never pay back a convertible note in cash. However, if the maturity date hits prior to a Series A financing, investors can choose to demand their money back.

Investors loan money to the startup and are repaid with equity in the company rather than principal and interest. The convertible note is automatically changed into equity once a specific milestone has been reached, usually when the company is officially valued for later investments.

A convertible note is a form of short-term debt that converts into equity, typically in conjunction with a future financing round; in effect, the investor would be loaning money to a startup and instead of a return in the form of principal plus interest, the investor would receive equity in the company.

A convertible promissory note is a debt obligation in which a company borrows money from an investor in exchange for a promise of repayment and an option to convert the outstanding principal into equity of the company upon some triggering event. Notes have a maturity date and bear interest.

A convertible note is a way for seed investors to invest in a startup that isn't ready for valuation. They start as short-term debt and are converted into equity in the issuing company. Investors loan money to the startup and are repaid with equity in the company rather than principal and interest.

A convertible note purchase agreement is an agreement between certain investors and a company that binds all the investors to the same terms and conditions for a particular round of convertible debt financing. Convertible debt is debt that can be converted into equity.

Ambiguity Since convertible note investment is done mostly with startups, a common risk investors face is the failure of repayment. If the startup cannot raise subsequent equity financing, the business will not have sufficient capital to repay loans.

Convertible notes are promissory notes that serve an additional business purpose other than merely representing debt. Convertible notes include all of the terms of a vanilla promissory note, such as an interest rate and the pledge of underlying security (if applicable).

The most company friendly terms call for the note to be repaid with interest to the investor. Most convertible notes call for the note to be converted to common shares in the company at a pre-set price just before the acquisition/merger, often at the same price as the cap of the note.

When a startup fails, the company typically has run out of money. The owner of a convertible note may get nothing, or at best may only receive pennies on the dollar. You also may be able to write off your loss.
