Estimated enterprise spend lost annually to fragmented, legacy document workflows
Propper internal estimate
The global document and agreement management market is undergoing one of the most significant structural shifts in enterprise software. The rise of AI-native workflows, the emergence of agentic automation, and the growing enterprise demand for unified data is reshaping how organizations execute agreements at scale.
We believe this inflection point represents a generational opportunity: to replace legacy systems built in a pre-AI era with an intelligent, open, and integrated platform built for the next decade of enterprise operations.
Why Now
The Market Leader Is Showing Its Limits.
The eSignature market has been dominated by a single incumbent for over two decades. But the arrival of AI-native competition has exposed structural vulnerabilities in legacy platforms that were not built for the intelligence era. Enterprise customers are actively seeking alternatives that offer open architecture, AI-native workflows, and transparent pricing. We believe the window to capture this market is open right now.
Incumbent Under Pressure
The leading eSignature platform has seen its stock decline significantly amid slowing growth and new AI competition. Enterprise customers are increasingly evaluating alternatives with more flexible, modern architectures.
AI Is Redefining the Category
Agreement management is no longer just about signatures. Enterprise buyers now expect AI-powered document generation, real-time obligation tracking, and agentic workflows. Legacy platforms were not architected for this.
Near-Zero Switching Costs
Propper Sign is DocuSign-compatible out of the box, with automated template migration that removes the primary barrier to enterprise switching. We believe this is a structural advantage that will drive adoption velocity.
Our Unfair Advantage
We Didn't Study This Industry. We Built It.
The Propper founding team includes the engineers, executives, and operators who scaled the world's largest eSignature provider from startup to global enterprise. We have navigated every phase of this category — from early adoption through enterprise penetration and global expansion. We are not learning this market. We are returning to it with the benefit of knowing exactly what was built wrong the first time, and the conviction to build it properly.
Our leadership team includes backgrounds from DocuSign, Microsoft, McKinsey, Conga, GE, Halliburton, LexisNexis, and Zendesk.
The Product
Propper Sign: Enterprise eSignature, Rebuilt.
Our first product, Propper Sign, is a fully launched enterprise eSignature platform built on a unified document intelligence data model. It delivers the compliance, security, and workflow capabilities enterprise customers require — at a fraction of the cost of legacy alternatives, with near-zero switching cost from existing providers.
Enterprise-Grade Compliance
- ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS compliant electronic signatures
- Comprehensive audit trails with timestamp, IP, and user agent logging
- SOC 2-aligned security architecture
Intelligent Migration
- DocuSign-compatible JSON template import with automated format detection
- No rip-and-replace — integrates with existing systems
- Guided migration path for enterprise customers
AI-Native Architecture
- Built on a unified document data model that turns agreements into structured, queryable intelligence
- Agentic workflow support for next-generation automation
- Open API architecture with enterprise-grade webhook support
We believe enterprise-grade eSigning should not require enterprise-scale pricing. Propper Sign is designed to deliver professional signing capabilities at a significantly lower total cost of ownership than incumbent platforms.
The Vision
Beyond Signing. Toward Intelligence.
We believe the eSignature was never the destination — it was always the entry point. The real value in enterprise document management lies upstream and downstream of the signature: in the generation of agreements, the real-time enrichment of their terms, the intelligent tracking of obligations, and the analytics that turn agreements from static files into business-critical data assets.
Propper is building the complete document intelligence platform — starting with signing, and expanding to encompass the entire lifecycle. We expect our platform to become the unified system of record for enterprise agreements: intelligent, open, and built to compound in value over time.
“By unifying agreement management end-to-end, Propper eliminates the fragmentation and overhead driving up legacy costs. That efficiency lets us deliver enterprise-grade power at roughly half the price of leading brands — without sacrificing performance, compliance, or scale.”
