一份合规的录用通知书,这些条款缺一不可: A compliant offer letter must include all of these:
SAFE 看起来只有3页纸,但它决定了你在下一轮融资后还能拥有多少公司。很多创始人在天使轮犯的错,要到A轮才暴露——那时候改不了了。 A SAFE looks like 3 pages, but it determines how much of your company you'll still own after the next round. Most founders' angel-round mistakes don't surface until Series A — when it's too late to fix.

当你的产品开始有用户、签合同、处理数据,合规问题就不再是"以后再说"。特别是AI产品,2026年的监管环境比一年前严格十倍。不提前布局,一封律师函就可能毁掉增长。 Once you have users, contracts, and data flows, compliance is no longer a "later" problem. Especially for AI products — 2026's regulatory environment is 10x tighter than last year. One demand letter can kill your momentum if you haven't prepared.
