Agree.com has secured $7.2 million in seed funding, positioning the startup to challenge giants like DocuSign and Bill.com with its innovative AI-driven e-signature platform. Differentiating itself, Agree.com not only provides e-signatures but also seamlessly integrates invoice generation and payment processing features. The company notably monetizes its service through transaction fees collected whenever payments are transferred using the platform, allowing it to offer e-signatures completely free to all users.
After raising $3 million in a pre-seed round last year—led by Sheel Mohnot from Better Tomorrow Ventures—the latest funding round was oversubscribed, led by Tyler Hogge of Pelion Venture Partners, and successfully closed within just two weeks.
Founded in February 2024 by a seasoned team of serial entrepreneurs, including CEO Marty Ringlein, Agree.com leverages artificial intelligence and optical character recognition (OCR) technology to automatically identify and label key input fields and signature blocks within contracts. Additionally, the platform intelligently extracts payment information and terms to dynamically create invoices.
Ringlein emphasized that Agree.com bridges the gap between contract signing and payment processes, streamlining a traditionally fragmented workflow to deliver a faster and more efficient experience. Due to its multifunctional capabilities, Ringlein believes Agree.com can replace traditional e-signature tools and dedicated accounting services.
The company has demonstrated strong early traction. After launching in September 2024, Agree.com gained 10,000 users in under three months, quickly doubling to 20,000 within seven weeks and surpassing 25,000 users today. Agree’s customer base already includes recognizable clients from ad-tech networks such as Beehiv and Product Hunt, SaaS startups like Rho and TaxGPT, and enterprise sales teams like Brico and Thoropass.
Agree currently employs seven people, including co-founders COO Will Hubbard and CTO Evan Dudla. All founders possess extensive experience building successful startups. Previously, Ringlein sold his creative agency, nclud, to Twitter in 2012 and later co-founded and sold companies nvite (to Eventbrite in 2016) and Gather (to Brex in 2020). Hubbard built and sold ChemiSense, an air quality monitoring firm, and subsequently founded Niche, a vertical marketplace startup acquired by Opera Event in 2020.
Agree offers enhanced premium plans for larger teams, sold through a more traditional monthly subscription per user seat. Further monetization will come primarily through invoicing transactions, aligning with a fintech business model rather than traditional SaaS.
Investor Tyler Hogge pointed out that the innovative model of offering free e-signatures to drive mass adoption, combined with transactional revenue, provides Agree.com with a distinct competitive edge against incumbents. Existing backers including Better Tomorrow Ventures, 8-Bit Capital, Sophia Amoruso’s Trust Fund, Hustle Fund, Everywhere Ventures, Singh Capital Partners, and Firsthand VC joined Pelion Ventures and Blank Ventures in this round, along with angel investor Gokul Rajaram.
Finally, Agree.com plans to expand beyond the United States by the end of the year, initially targeting markets in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
