Documenso

The World’s Open Signing Infrastructure

“Today's global signature market is highly opaque, overpriced, and lacks innovation.”

Every single business in the world relies on signing for their business dealings. Yet, the signing industry is dominated by one heavily overpriced player and starved for technical innovation. Meanwhile, open source is taking over the world at a staggering pace. In this new world, developers and technical communities are driving the next big technical decision in their organizations.

<aside> 🌱 We are on a mission to build the world's open signing infrastructure and pierce the veil of this industry that is holding its customers hostage.

Creating an open ecosystem around signing allows us to introduce innovation back into a space that has stagnated for the last decade. Contracting real-world services via API, highly trusted document template stores, and trusted digital relationship networks are all possible once the base is open. The reasonably priced, high-quality signings powering all this will drive massive growth for decades. Historically, open ecosystems have flourished compared to closed ecosystems, and it will happen again in signing. We are creating Documenso as a platform that can be extended or integrated into unlimited workflows.

<aside> ⚡ Disrupting DocuSign is just the beginning. Building the tech ecosystem they never envisioned is the real opportunity.
