DocuSign Inc. Receives $10 Million in Funding
Second round of funding to build out infrastructure and continue
product development for enterprise customer requirements
SEATTLE April 4, 2006 DocuSign®, the leading On-demand electronic signature service, today announced that it has completed a second funding round totaling $10 million. This round was led by new investor Sigma Partners, who is joining previous investors Frazier Technology Ventures and Ignition Partners.
“ Faxing and express shipping paper documents for signature is time consuming and expensive, and with today’s ubiquitous use of electronic communications and Internet, doesn't make sense. We believe DocuSign has the right solution and traction to be the leader in a very large market. We are pleased to be working with the DocuSign team, Ignition Partners and Frazier Technology Ventures on this opportunity” said Peter Solvik, Managing Director of Sigma Partners, who will be joining the Board of Directors of DocuSign.
"We're very pleased to have Sigma Partners leading this round of funding, and we’re looking forward to their valuable input as an investor and partner as we continue to grow the company,” said Court Lorenzini, CEO of DocuSign. "We're also excited about the adoption we’re seeing by enterprise clients, and expect that trend to continue. Businesses are simply realizing that DocuSign is more reliable, faster and less expensive than the centuries-old process of paper-based signing," he added.
This latest investment will enable DocuSign to grow its enterprise customer base, where there is a trend toward adoption of e Signatures as a major improvement to internal processes. DocuSign will also use the funds to continue development of its enterprise products and grow its channel and partner network.
