## TL; DR;
I'm launching an open source document signing tool because trust-based products should be built on openness. The first release will be in 2023. Sign up at <a href="https://documenso.com" target="_blank">documenso.com</a> and get on board.
## Let’s build the world’s most trusted document-signing tool.
Today I'm excited to announce my new project Documenso. Documenso is an open source document signing tool you can host yourself and freely build upon because it's, you know, open source. Before I get more into the details of what and when will be launched I want to take a moment and talk about why.
## Digital signing is great
Signing Documents digitally has countless benefits: Less struggle with printing, less wasting paper, faster request delivery, easier changes, easier coordination of people far away, verifiable document integrity, and verifiable signer identity (this is a vast topic, will write more on soon), easier storage and search of signed documents, the list goes on. Digital Signatures take something very old and very trusted like personally signing documents into the digital space, adding the benefits listed above. It also introduces a new party to every signing transaction, the signing tool providers. What was peer to peer transaction before, now goes through an intermediary. While this isn't a problem in itself, it should make us think about how we want these providers of trust to work.
## How do we build trusted systems?
While doing research for Documenso I came upon a quote that expresses the current state of document signing pretty well:
> Document signing is NOT a technical problem. [Editor’s Note: Because it was solved technically a long time ago] It’s a legal acceptance problem — and everyone KNOWS DocuSign and friends and understands how they’re admissible. Anything else would have to compete with that and people would be suspicious of it for a long time.
While this may sound like a hurdle at first, it immediately gave me a sense of validation for a more open approach to signing. People will and should be suspicious of their tools and demand a high bar when it comes to trust. And the way to earn this trust is by being open. Trusted tools should be the result of thoughtful discussion and reviews. They should be the result of the needs and will of its community. They should be transparent, adaptable, and empowering while using. Open Source embodies these values very well for software, which makes it a perfect fit for this space and creating a high-trust tool.
## Next Steps
So, what can you expect from here on out? I've started to build Documenso 0.1 which is scheduled to release in “early” 2023. If you're interested in helping make this happen, let me know via [hi@documenso.com](mailto:hi@documenso.com). Getting working code into the hands of the perspective Documenso community is currently the #1 goal. Other than that I'll be releasing several articles about document signing and what something like Documenso should look like, in my humble opinion. So stay tuned!
If you think Documenso is worthy of support, please share <a href="https://documenso.com" target="_blank">documenso.com</a> with anyone interested, and sign up to be among the first to try out version 0.1 as soon as it launches.
Cheers from Hamburg

Signing documents is a fundamental building block of private, economic, and government interactions. Access to easy and secure signing to participate in society should therefore be a fundamental right for everyone. The technology to enable this should be accessible and widespread.
We know that open source is the key to solving this need once and for all to benefit all humankind. Using open source kickstarts innovation by putting the open sharing of ideas and solutions first. With Documenso, we will create an open and globally accessible signing platform to empower users, customers, and developers to fulfill their needs. Documenso is built by and for the global community, listening and implementing what is needed. Being transparent with the code and the processes that use it brings trust and security to the platform.
We build Documenso for longevity and scale by embracing the capital efficiency and inclusiveness of the Commercial Open Source (COSS) movement. We are building a global commodity for the world.

Today I'm happy to announce that we closed a \$1.25M Pre-Seed round for Documenso, bringing our total funding to \$1.54M. The round actually closed last month, we just were sneaky about it.

## Two more for the road (to open signing)
We're ecstatic to welcome [OSS Capital](https://twitter.com/osscapital) and especially [Joseph Jacks](https://twitter.com/JosephJacks_) to the inner circle of the open signing revolution. We're also fortunate to be joined by Orrick's very own [John Harrison](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-harrison-a1213b9/) and his legal experience. For those who are wondering, yes, the round was, of course, signed using Documenso.
## Open Source, Open Metrics
If you follow us, you know we're firmly committed to the open source values of openness and transparency. For us, this includes not only the code side of things but also the business. As we aim to build trust among our investors, customers, and partners, we want to be open about what's going on. We also want to allow everyone to learn from our data and choices, just as we did from so many other COSS (Commercial Open Source) startups. The term "Open Startup" isn't precisely defined (and probably will never be, just like startup). There is however a [great write-up](https://cal.com/blog/open-startup) about the basics by the founder of our favorite open source scheduling tool Cal.com.

The two main takeaways are:
- "Any Startup that shares its metrics as open as technically and operationally possible is an Open Startup."
- "Why should I care? Frankly speaking, Open Startups have a tough time screwing you over."
The more open the culture, the less shady stuff is going on. While this may sound trivial, the implications are profound. A new generation of organizations, operating more ethically and responsibly simply because everything is out in the open.

For us, there are two sides to being an Open Startup:
- The company side: Sharing Financial KPIs like growth, funding, team structure, salary, internal processes, and tools.
- The product side: Sharing insights and data like usage, reach, and GitHub activity.
Both sides aim to contribute to the global knowledge base of how startups work, specifically COSS startups. As we see more and more COSS, best practices and business insights should be broadly available to let the space mature. As we contribute code to the global community, we also contribute our business knowledge to help bring about even more COSS.

Starting today, we're releasing a lot of our data as part of the Open Startup movement. You can find the juicy details on our funding and more here: [documen.so/open](https://documen.so/open)

## Final thoughts
- We’re at the very, early stage on our journey to building a beautiful, open-source DocuSign alternative. We want to build a great developer experience with the open-source community and, switching to Discord, we want to set up the foundations of an open, safe place for community members to get in touch, brainstorm ideas, and have fun.
- It doesn’t mean we won’t ever switch back to Slack. The tools of today aren’t the ones of tomorrow. We don’t delete the Slack workspace, we archive it, and keep the `documenso` handle. May it be just an *au revoir?*
