Contractbook – an all-in-one contract flow

Founded in 2017 by Jarek Owczarek, Niels Martin Brochner, and Viktor Heide, Contractbook is a document automation company that can create, sign, and store all your legal documents on a single digital platform. Its aim is to future-proof your business by making it easy for you to take advantage of modern technologies such as AI and machine-learning.

According to Contractbook, it helps in increasing transparency in the organisation, secure compliance, save valuable time as well as create better contracts. Integrated with a suite of business intelligence tools, the company’s technology enables process automation and seamless business operations for its customers.

Contractbook’s Founder & CEO, Niels Martin Brochner explains, “99 per cent of the value from a contract comes post-signature, but this process has received almost no attention, until now. We are revolutionising the existing online contract signing tools of today by creating the contract management platform of tomorrow and showing people that simple PDFs are an impediment to today’s efficient work environment.”

Contractbook currently serves over 150,000 users in more than 75 countries. Also, the company believes in a sustainable tech industry based on data-ethics and green energy, and therefore, it plants a tree for every 100th signature transacted on its platform.

Aim of this fundraise

The raised capital will help the company to expand its services into the US market in order to propel the contract management world into the next step of automated solutions.

Current round’s lead investor, Tiger Global’s Partner, John Curtius, says, “Contractbook’s premium, proven and highly competitive product has differentiated itself from any other player on the market. We see Contractbook as the bridge between a manual present and an automated future for the future of contracts. We are excited to partner up with them to conquer the US market.”
