@ellenchisa Thanks so much for your support Ellen! And yes the Design Partner Agreement has been one of our most popular
@jakestein and team are fantastic to work with. We're using Common Paper for CSA, NDA, and Terms of Service and all have saved us a ton of time.
@ryanlessard Thank you Ryan! So grateful to have you and the Zuplo team as users
💪🏼 Let's go @jakestein - closing deals at the speed of SaaS - there is PLG for users but this is what founders need to close deals quickly and not get stuck in legalese - the more of you who try this, the smarter and better your negotiations will be
Hi Product Hunt!
Jake here, co-founder and CEO of Common Paper. Thanks so much @ellenchisa for hunting us!
When running my previous two startups, I found contracts to be confusing, time-consuming, and costly. That’s why we built a free resource for founders in a similar situation, offering the fastest, most trustworthy way for SaaS companies to create and understand commercial contracts.
🚀 Enter the SaaS Agreement Toolkit! 🚀
📃 A suite of standard agreements for every stage, including a Mutual NDA, Cloud Service Agreement, Data Processing Agreement, Design Partner Agreement, Service Level Agreement, and Terms of Service.
🤖 TurboTax-style guides that walk you through customizing the standard agreements, step by step with examples and tips.
📏 A Benchmark Report to help you make sense of what’s typical in SaaS contracts. Based on data from the proposed & signed contracts of more than 150 companies, the report provides context on the market trends for different terms and how they influence negotiation. For example, 85% of NDAs have a fixed rather than a perpetual term of confidentiality. Proposing a perpetual term decreases the odds of getting a signed agreement by 16%!
Our vision at Common Paper is to turn contracts into APIs. A key part of making that vision a reality is helping more people use and understand standard contracts.
We’d love to hear your feedback, especially about other types of contracts that you’d like to see next.
@jakestein Congrats on the launch. 🙋🏼♂️ Active users of Common Paper here at Zuplo - saved us a lot of time landing big, tricky customers and I daren't think how much $$$ on legal fees if we didn't have this as a starting block. 👏
@molmorg Thanks Josh! Grateful to you have you and the Zuplo team as users, and congrats on your launch today as well!
@jakestein @molmorg Josh! Great to run into you on Product Hunt, not surprised it's around a cool product! Hope you are doing well!
Wow! Where has this been all my life? Sales and partnerships teams (and our legal counterparts) everywhere - rejoice!
I'm so glad that this exists now. Legal is one of those things that needs to get done but typically outside of a founders reason for building the company. Thanks Jake and team for building this amazing resource
@shanea_king_roberson Thanks so much Shanea! Less time on legal and more time talking to customers and building product is exactly what we have in mind :)
@rohit8x Thanks Rohi! That's very much our intention to simplify this for SaaS & cloud startups
Fantastic free resources, these are a gift to bootstrapping founders like me. Congrats abs thank you @jakestein and team!
This is solving what is such an unnecessary burden for startup software companies. Rarely do you need something unique or differentiated to get started. Literally this saves you thousands of dollars. Great idea!
@ryanlunka Thanks Ryan! Totally agree that standard contracts translate to huge savings. I appreciate the support
I’ve seen a deal take 3 months to get to POC simply because the NDA was getting negotiated. Common Papar removed all this friction to allow deals to close faster, shortening sales cycles, improving cash flow, and making it easier for teams to focus on what matters (solving pain points not worrying about legal docs)!
@shomik_ghosh2 Thanks Shomik! As you alluded to, accelerating sales cycles has a surprisingly large impact on growth. We ran an analysis and found that going from a four month to a three months sales cycle translates to 46% higher ARR at the end of two years https://commonpaper.com/blog/imp...
Congrats to you and the team, @jakestein! This is an incredibly useful resource, especially for early-stage founders like me. Excited to see where Common Paper goes from here :-)
@alex_yang4 Thanks Alex! We had early stage founders in mind when we built it, so I'm so glad to hear that
Fantastic resource for getting deals over the finish line. Looks very easy to use. Love the approach - standards FTW!
Congrats on the launch. Looks like an easy-to-use product. look fwd to using it soon.
