Bridge Funding

Amber is raising a pre-series A funding round via SAFE note, giving investors the benefit of acquiring shares in the company at a discount on Series A conversion.

Shares converted from the SAFE notes will be discounted by 30%. The total amount being raised is strictly limited to $400,000 AUD.

Amber qualifies as an ESIC, which entitles Investors to a 20% tax credits immediately, along with 100% capital gains offset (ie; tax free upside).

The benefit of a SAFE note is speed & transparency for both parties (company & investors).

This is a rare opportunity to participate alongside a line up of major international VC’s on Series A, whilst acquiring not only a discount on the share price, but a 20% tax rebate & 100% CGT offset.

Purpose

This bridge round allows Amber to accelerate their customer acquisition, and drive to their 10,000 user mark ($1m Annual recurring revenue) aggressively.

The $5m Series A, is then poised to drive toward the next major target; 100k users + expansion to UK + EU.

Status

$300k closed since announcing two weeks ago.
