I think preferred stock is much better. You live and die with the company and you'll likely sacrifice more to make sure the company ends up successful.

The question of whether angel investments in early stage companies should be in the form of a loan that converts (usually at a discount) into the equity, and at the valuation, of the following (usually VC) investment round, or instead in the form of Convertible Preferred stock (typical of a venture capital investment round) is one which generates a lot of heat in entrepreneurial circles. It also frequently leads to disagreements and hard feelings between entrepreneurs seeking funding and the angels who may be in the best position to fund them. But in reality, the answer is very simple:
thank you so much

for me, preferred stock is much more preferred than convertible debt. any kind of debt is never really named good/better/best. because as much as possible, we shouldn't really go into that, as much as we can prevent it.

In this case (a) the 10-20% discount is a fair benefit for the risk being taken (which is that the term sheet might fall through), and (b) if the term sheet DOES fall through, the angel now has debt, which is a better thing than equity to have when things go bad, which they will if the VC walks. Nevertheless, even in this case the convertible note should have a fallback feature of a set price, so that if the term sheet doesn’t happen the angel will STILL end up with an investment at a known, appropriate, valuation.

if there has been a fair amount of time between the note and the venture round (say, six months to a year, or more) a 20% discount has a decent chance of holding. But don’t bet the farm on the new investors accepting anything much more than that. If the note has, say, a 50% discount, it will almost certainly be eliminated, or, in a best case, factored into the lower pre-money valuation the VC offers.

Nothing that does with debt sounds well, so my answer is stock. That unless you are a debt relief expert and you can work your way around debt and can deal with it while making a profit.
