MintzTech Connect: All Things Technology — February 2026
Dear Readers,
In this special edition of MintzTech Connect, we introduce the Series SAFE Preferred — a novel early-stage financing instrument designed by the Mintz VC & Emerging Companies team. SAFEs transformed early-stage investing, but lingering questions — particularly around Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) — remain unresolved. The Series SAFE Preferred combines the speed and simplicity of a SAFE with the QSBS certainty and stockholder rights of preferred stock, without forcing a premature priced round.
The Series SAFE Preferred forms are now available for download and use at www.seriessafe.com, and we encourage you to review the materials and contact us to discuss implementation in your next financing.
You will not be the first. The Series SAFE Preferred is already in use by our clients, and the client spotlight in this issue focuses on one such transaction.
Be sure to visit our website for emerging companies @ mintzedge.com, and please sign up here to receive email alerts when new articles are posted on MintzEdge.
Be safe + be well,
Dan + Sam
