We have exciting news to share:
We've joined Box

We’re excited to announce that Box acquired SignRequest. We are looking forward to our next chapter and working together with Box to build the leading content cloud for the enterprise.

We founded SignRequest in 2014 with a mission to bring electronic signatures from an expensive high-end product, to a highly accessible product for everyone. Almost seven years later, we couldn’t be more proud of the progress we made. Today, we are trusted by over 500,000 users to be one of the most loved, intuitive and powerful e-signature technologies in the market.

Of course, we couldn’t have done this without the support of our customers. We would not be where we are today without your feedback, suggestions, and support. This next step in our journey will allow us to expand our reach while continuously improving on our e-signature solution.

Why Box is the perfect fit

We are very excited to join the Box family to scale this vision in the enterprise.

The last year has shown us that we can effectively work virtually and that we don’t need to rely on in-person meetings to get business done. Today's landscape requires an easy way to access information from anywhere and collaborate with anyone. And this is what Box was built for. Box powers the way over 100,000 businesses around the world work, and has a complementary suite of collaboration, workflow, and security products that complement and extend our e-signature product.  Marrying our powerful and affordable e-signature solution with Box’s enterprise-grade content platform will make it easier than ever to complete digital transactions from anywhere.

What does this mean for you?

Nothing will change as of right now. SignRequest will continue to offer its services to all our customers and partners like we do today. With Box's powerful platform and innovative team behind us, you can expect faster and more innovation from us.

Looking ahead, adding e-signatures to its capabilities is a significant step for Box in building out the complete content cloud. With the help of SignRequest’s team and technology, Box will develop Box Sign, its e-signature capabilities that will be natively integrated into Box. Over the next year, SignRequest customers will have the option to switch their account to Box Sign and in doing so add the power of Box to their account.

Together, we'll enable customers to modernize the way they work and digitize important processes, while ensuring their agreements can be securely managed and governed in the Box content cloud.

Above all, we want to thank you - both our customers and partners - for your trust in SignRequest.

We are excited about what the future holds for us and are excited to have you on board as we scale our mission and bring our powerful e-signature technology to everyone.

Signed,

The founders of SignRequest
