We simplify documents

Our first product is a new take on the doc editor that makes docs interactive and actionable. A new document medium designed for the modern web.

Here’s the problem…

Every day, millions of documents drive transactions, and agreements, but creating and signing them today looks a bit like this: First, you open Google Docs or Word and start drafting the contract, making sure every little detail is perfectly formatted. But getting them signed isn’t as easy as hitting “send.” No— first, you export the document as a PDF, then, you switch tabs to open a tool like Docusign, search for your PDF, upload it, and meticulously place the signature and date fields, adjusting them pixel by pixel like a true artisan in the static PDF.

But just when you think you’re ready to share it and get it signed, you notice a tiny mistake in the contract. No big deal, right? Except now you have to start the whole process over again: editing the document, exporting, navigating to another tool, uploading, and then reconfiguring all those signature fields once more. Because why make it easy when you can make it complicated?

This is the process for 1.5 million Docusign users. Even worse, if some are stuck sending contracts as PDFs via email...

Taking docs a step further

What if documents could eliminate those manual steps? For two years, we've been building this future: A document editor that's designed for the modern web, making documents interactive and actionable. It feels as intuitive as Notion, but has the power to handle signatures — right inside the editor itself.

Why does any of this matter? Because documents are more than just system of records. They're the building blocks steps forward. Every idea, every world-changing initiative, starts with a document.

With Notch, documents become living entities that facilitate negotiation and real-time actions. All within a single platform. This is the new medium for documents.
