E-signatures built for startup founders.
Formation paperwork, co-founder terms, early loans, and NDAs before a pitch — signed in minutes, free for two parties.
Who this is for
- Two co-founders agree on how the company will be run, but it isn't real until it's signed and dated, not just discussed over coffee.
- An advisor or early investor wants an NDA signed before you walk them through the deck.
- A friends-and-family loan needs a real promissory note, not a Venmo note that says "loan."
- Formation paperwork for an LLC or partnership needs a signed record between co-founders before you open a bank account.
Why Docracy
Docracy is free for two-party signing — you and a co-founder, advisor, or early lender — with no account required for whoever's signing. Start from an LLC operating agreement, partnership agreement, promissory note, or NDA template, fill in the terms, and send.
What this is not: Docracy doesn't have a dedicated equity/cap-table or SAFE template yet, and this isn't legal advice on how to structure your formation or your first raise. For anything with real equity or investment terms, have a lawyer review the document before it's the final version you send.
