It's official! Today we announced our Series D financing, which will allow us to continue on our mission to power the world's business contracts. Humbling to have the support of new investors like Mary Meeker, @moodrowghani, and @bznotes joining our team 🙏
Announcing our investment in @ironclad_inc, the leading contract lifecycle management platform. The innovative team led by @jboehmig & @gogwilt is building the new standard for digital contracting — one that brings teams, processes, and data together in our digital age.
I don't think I've ever been this fired up about what we're building at @ironclad_inc. The amount of raw talent, ownership, and grit on display daily feels like a startup all over again. Watch the throne 🔥
We announced a big move today - @ironclad_inc has acquired @PactSafe to continue to expand the universe of digital business contracts for our customers. Together, we are powering hundreds of millions (and soon billions) of business contracts per year. Welcome to the team!
1/ I think there's a very real chance that the consumer experience around AI peaked in summer 2023 and won't get better for the next decade.
But that's not the bad news you might think it is.
A 🧵 on AI and the law 👇
@gogwilt and I started @ironclad_inc around a single idea - to bring business contracts into the digital age. Today I'm excited to announce our Series E and expanded partnership with Franklin Templeton as we continue our progress towards that goal. forbes.com/sites/kenrickc…
The new friday demos that @garrytan is hosting at @ycombinator are what I love about silicon valley. Builders at work, writing code and talking to users. I'm fired up after being there 🔥
Was so nervous about putting this in the pitch deck for our Series B. Turned out to be one of the standout slides and we got 7 term sheets (revenue growth also might have helped). Lesson as always: be yourself!
9/ @jboehmig also used this 1621 oil painting of a village lawyer and clients waiting in one to illustrate how painful it is to wait for your contracts to get signed. With @ironclad_inc, your contracts go faster, and your business goes faster.

“I’ve learned that when people give you notes on something, when they tell you what’s wrong they’re usually right, when they tell you how to fix it they’re usually wrong”
100% applies to developing products too.
