Justee's convertible note review tool analyzes startup debt instruments for interest fairness, maturity adequacy, conversion clarity, and default provisions. The AI identifies risks including high interest rates, short maturity periods, unclear conversion mechanics, and harsh default provisions. Justee provides suggested considerations based on startup financing standards. Convertible notes are loans that convert to equity, typically at the next funding round. Unlike SAFEs, they accrue interest and have maturity dates. Common issues include interest rates that create excessive dilution, maturity dates that create repayment pressure, and conversion terms that surprise founders.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed their convertible note with an 18-month maturity date for a seed-stage startup with $750K in convertible notes approaching maturity.

Issue Found: The note had a "qualified financing" threshold of $2M, but the startup could only raise $1.5M. The notes would mature without converting, triggering a repayment obligation the startup couldn't meet.

Justee Recommendation: We negotiated with note holders to lower the qualified financing threshold to $1M, extend maturity by 12 months, and add an automatic conversion at a floor valuation if no qualified financing occurred.

High Qualified Financing Threshold

Problematic Language

"The Notes shall automatically convert upon a Qualified Financing, defined as an equity financing of at least $2,000,000."

Recommended Language

"The Notes shall automatically convert upon either: (i) a Qualified Financing of at least $1,000,000; or (ii) at the election of a majority of note holders, any equity financing. If no conversion occurs by Maturity, Notes shall convert at a $4M valuation cap."

Why it matters: High qualified financing thresholds can leave notes unconverted at maturity, creating repayment crises. Lower thresholds and automatic conversion provisions provide safety valves.

No credit card required

"Justee is redefining the legal document compliance process across all practice areas, transforming hours of work into minutes, while reducing stress and boosting accuracy."

Convertible Note Review FAQ

Interest accrues (usually 5-8% annually) and typically converts to equity along with principal rather than being paid in cash.

Options include repayment, extension, or conversion. Review what happens if you can't repay and haven't raised funding.

Convertible notes add interest (increasing conversion amount) and maturity dates (creating repayment obligations).

May trigger repayment obligation or automatic conversion at floor valuation. Review these provisions carefully.

Usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt. Review security and subordination provisions.
