Signing

Sending documents, day to day

    What a document is made of, who signs when, reminders on your schedule, a deadline you can move, and what everyone receives at the end.
  2. Your navigation6
    Arrange your menu for each workspace, open document links in the right workspace and recover your saved choices.
  3. Templates8
    Roles, pinned people, a schedule per template, prefilled fields, merge tags, public links, and bulk send.
  4. Copies, hand-offs and declines6
    Who receives copies, how a signer passes a document on or declines it, how replies reach you with your address kept private, and how to fix a wrong address.
  5. Languages and scripts4
    The scripts a signed PDF carries as real text, from Arabic to Tibetan, and how mixed and right-to-left text behaves.
Data Rooms

Files shared with people outside

  1. Data Rooms32
    Rooms for people outside your workspace: the index, uploading, guests with no account, access per folder, request lists, the record, and more rooms when you need them.
Closings

Signatures held until a completion

    Signatures held until every document is signed and every condition met, then released together, dated at that moment, and bound into one sealed binder.
Deals

Selling a business, buyer by buyer

  1. Deals18
    The sale of a business run from a register of buyers in one room: the code name and teaser before each NDA, stages, offers sealed until the deadline, exclusivity, and the closing.
Funds

A fund's investors, in one room

  1. Funds14
    A register of investors run through one room: each quarter's statements delivered into each investor's own folder, side letters and MFN elections recorded, a round sent with each investor's amount, and a syndicate's backers kept across its deals.
Cohorts

An accelerator's companies, in one room

  1. Cohorts21
    An accelerator's programme run from a register of its companies in one room: read in from a spreadsheet, every founder's agreements in one press, onboarding taken in from one grid, each company's investment as a closing, mentors kept from their conflicts, and Demo Day.
Clients

Taking on a new client, by one link

  1. Clients8
    A new client in one link: they give their details once, sign your engagement letter, pay the retainer by card or by hand, and are let into a matter room once everything is in.
Cap table

A company's shares, options and SAFEs

  1. Cap table19
    A company's shares by class, its option pool and grants, and every SAFE and note, kept as a record, with the fully diluted table and each holder's share.
