Ask HN: Paper Capital Contributions as YC Safe That Converts to Common Stock?

Paper Capital Contributions as YC Safe That Converts to Common Stock? 2 points by systemaccount 13 minutes ago | hide | past | web | favorite | discuss I am slowly ramping up on the options my co-founder and I have to make capital contributions to our bootstrapped C Corp. When we incorporated we each purchased 40% of the available common stock and set aside 10% for early staff leaving 10% available. My proposed strategy is to track all founder capital contributions as SAFEs that will convert to equity issued from the remaining 10% common stock in Series A. All other stock (ESOP or VC) will be sold as preferred stock. Is this a sound strategy? If not, how would you adjust it for a founder team that would prefer not to track capital contributions as deb?
