| Submission declined on 20 June 2025 by Mcmatter (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Mcmatter 44 hours ago. | |
Comment: Please use reliable sources, not blogs. Fundraising announcements also don't really help establish notability. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:12, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Agree (company)
[edit]Agree (company)
[edit]Agree is a U.S.-based fintech startup founded in early 2024 and headquartered in San Francisco. It offers a platform that integrates e-signature, invoicing, and payment processing into a single workflow, targeting freelancers, small to mid-size businesses, agencies, and professional services teams.[1][2]
History
[edit]Agree was co-founded by Marty Ringlein, Will Hubbard, and Evan Dudla, who previously built ventures in design and event technology.[3] In September 2024, the firm raised US$3 million in a pre-seed round led by Better Tomorrow Ventures and others.[4][5] Within six months, the platform reported more than 30,000 users and was named Product Hunt’s Product of the Month in November 2024.[3]
In May 2025, Agree closed a US$7.2 million seed round led by Pelion Venture Partners and supported by Blank Ventures and angel Gokul Rajaram, lifting total funding to US$10.2 million.[3][6]
Products
[edit]Coverage by external outlets describes the platform as providing:
- Free e-signature tools to attract users.[3]
- AI-generated invoicing via OCR of contracts.[7]
- Integrated payment processing with fee-based revenue model.[3]
- AI contract tools including clause detection, summaries, and redlining assistance.[8]
Market reception
[edit]Financial media note that Agree’s freemium model is designed to challenge incumbents by subsidizing e-signature usage and monetizing downstream payments.[8] Investors compare the strategy to Divvy’s shift in accounts payable.[8]
Competitors
[edit]Agree operates in a sector dominated by established e-signature platforms. DocuSign holds between approximately 66% and 77% of the global e-signature market.[9][10] Alternative providers (e.g., Adobe Sign, HelloSign, SignNow) collectively account for most of the remaining market share.[11]
In the payments space, Bill.com—launched in 2006—dominated small-business payments and accounts automation; it went public in late 2019, acquired Divvy in 2021, and reported over 3.2 million networked businesses by 2021.[12][13] Its competitors include AvidXchange, Tipalti, FreshBooks, Melio, and others offering similar accounts payable and AR services.[13]
Controversies
[edit]As of mid‑2025, there have been **no reported legal disputes or regulatory actions** involving Agree.
