Where’s all that funding going? It doesn’t seem towards the product. After 2 yeaers of using EchoSign – we’ve switched. I won’t say to which company but check out Sertifi and DocuSign – great solutions that support .html forms (instead of just fillable .pdfs) and custom signing locations throughout a document.

@Eric(11)-Be careful being impressed by big name companies listed as customers of ANY company. Typically the company only has a small footprint, usually in a single department somewhere in the giga customer. This footprint could provide an entry or expansion point for the company but usually it doesn’t.

#10 – BT, GE, PayPal, Rite-Aid, Johnson & Johnson sound like pretty big-name customers. EchoSign is a killer service that I use frequently to speed up sales cycles and to save time spent faxing and emailing. Its an iconic app for Office 2.0. Plus with funding rounds, its quality not quantity that matters. Look at recent acquisitions for example – Mozy ($1.9 million funding acquired by EMC for $70 million) . Bigger funding doesn’t necessarily mean better. Do more with less and you will win big. EchoSign embodies that idea perfectly.

Trouble is that EchoSign basically gives their service away, and they don’t have much in the way of big-name customers. That’s probably why they only got $6 million — half of what others such as DocuSign just picked up. Weak business model and not-ready-for-primetime infrastructure.

I completely disagree. Companies such as salesforce not only have sensitive company pricing and deal terms (contracts),but they also house customer lists, prospect lists, upcoming marketing campaigns, projects…..

I agree. Very similar problem that eFax solved. Just look at their growth over the past four years (with a couple of stock splits)

Congrats to Jason (EchoSign) and Jason (Emergence). When I first used EchoSign to sign a contract for the Office 2.0 Conference (http://www.office20con.com/) I had one of those “ah-hah” moments when I realized just how much EchoSign streamlined the contract signature process for high-volume deal-making. I think this company will continue to grow and solve this important “plumbing” problem that creates real friction in business. I only wish I had joined GRP early enough to try and co-invest.

I give them 4 month before the founder takes off with whatever is left of the money!

Long over due app. Security will be an issue; no one wants sensitive pricing and deal terms on a server thats not your own. Good for basic’s like NDA’s and stuff.

This is a homerun idea. It comes down to distribution and execution.

If the company stumbles eFax (J2 Global) or Adobe will pick it up for peanuts. As a matter of fact I’m extremely surprised that Salesforce did not buy them. It’s no secret that Salesforce needs to start acquiring some companies. On the other hand they probably did attempt such a ploy, and if not, then Benioff needs to bring on some better corp dev talent.
