Agree Raises $7.2M to Replace DocuSign and Bill.com with One AI-Powered Workflow
Agree allows you to securely send and sign any agreement with AI-powered workflows, free e-signature, automated invoicing, and integrated payments.
The startup behind free e-signatures and integrated payments just raised $7.2 million to do what DocuSign and Bill.com haven’t: merge contract signing, invoicing, and payments into a single, AI-powered platform.
Founded in 2024 by a veteran team of serial founders, Agree is betting that the future of B2B workflows isn’t about better integrations—it’s about eliminating fragmentation altogether. Its wedge? Offer e-signatures for free and monetize what comes next: payments.
“At the end of almost every signature, someone has to pay someone money,” CEO Marty Ringlein told TechCrunch. “We combine what has historically been a disjointed and fragmented workflow to make signing better and payments faster.”
Agree’s AI leverages OCR to detect all fields, extract payment terms, and automatically generate invoices. The platform includes full contract collaboration—redlining, commenting, version control—making it feel more like a Google Doc than a static PDF.
Since launching in September 2024, Agree has grown quickly. It hit 10,000 users in its first three months, more than doubled in just seven weeks, and now serves over 25,000 users, including teams at Beehiiv, Product Hunt, Rho, and Thoropass.
The business model is classic fintech: free software drives mass adoption; monetization comes from transaction volume. There’s also a SaaS layer for larger teams. As Pelion partner Tyler Hogge (who led the seed round) put it, “The smartest way to get massive adoption would be to use e-signature as the wedge… and make it impossible for incumbents to reply.”
That strategy has earned strong investor backing. The $7.2M oversubscribed seed round included Pelion, Blank Ventures, Gokul Rajaram, and returning investors like Better Tomorrow Ventures, Everywhere Ventures, Hustle Fund, Trust Fund, Singh Capital, and Firsthand VC.
Agree plans to expand internationally later this year, starting with the UK, Canada, and Australia. If successful, the platform may not just compete with incumbents—it could make them feel outdated.
