For startups and founders
Sign everything a startup signs. Pay nothing.
An early team signs NDAs, contractor agreements, advisor agreements, and first customer contracts long before it has anyone to manage a software budget. The signing tool should not be one more line on the burn.
What startups and founders send
- Mutual NDAs
- Contractor agreements
- Advisor agreements
- Customer contracts
- Offer letters
The problem
What slows it down today.
- 01
Paid e-signature plans ask for a card and an annual commitment on day one. - 02
Adding a cofounder or first hire means buying another seat. - 03
Nobody has time to place fields on every contract by hand.
