A CLN (or just ‘convertible note’) is a short-term debt instrument that allows investors to make a loan to your company and this loan either converts into shares of your company (typically at the next funding round) or is ‘redeemed’, which means that you repay the investment amount in full, with the agreed interest.
SeedNOTE is our SeedLegals CLN. It used to be prohibitively expensive and complicated to raise capital by convertible debt, so we developed SeedNOTE as a simple and powerful tool for fundraising companies.
