Cap Table Question — YC SAFE note terms review

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

YC SAFE note terms review. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.
