AGCT.com states that its electronic electronic platform powered by artificial intelligence is different from competitors because it includes the billing and processing of payments. That’s why the company could have a chance to face the Goliath sector, Docusign.
Since the startup earns its money from the transaction commissions for any monetary movement facilitated by its platform, Act Access.com has made free electronic signatures for all users.
And now he has collected a $ 7.2 million semi round, the company tells Techcrunch exclusively.
Founded in February 2024, Adjun also collected $ 3 million in a lap of pre-sex funding last year led by Sheel Mohnot, general partner of Better Tomorrow Ventures. The latter loan was signed excessively and led by Tyler Hogge at Pelion Venture Partners, according to the co-founder of Agce.com Marty Ringlein. The financing for the increase required only two weeks, according to a source that is familiar with the transaction.
Act Accet.com Use to in addition to the Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) software so that it can detect cars and label all the input fields of a contract and signature blocks. Its technology can also identify and extract any and all “payment terms to generate invoices dynamically.
“At the end of almost every signature, someone has to pay someone to money,” Ringlein said to Techcrunch. “We combine what has historically been a disconnected and fragmented work flow to make the signature better and payments faster.”
Due to its multitasking approach, Ringlein believes that Act.com can potentially replace the traditional electronic signature software and billing and accounting tools such as Bill.com.

“It agrees that it extracts each character, return, semi-colon and outline not only to understand the type of contract during the signature phase, but make it fully modifiable and collaborative with comments, redlining and control of the version,” Ringlein said to Techcrunch.
Although it competes mainly with Docusign, ACT Business Model is a Fintech company through B2B payments.
So far, his trajectory seems promising. In his first three months, after the launch in early September 2024, he hit 10,000 users. Seven weeks later, it has doubled to over 20,000 users. Today it has over 25,000 users, including advertising networks such as Beehiv and Product Hunt, Saas B2B startups such as Rho and Taxgpt, and company sales team such as Brico and Thoropass, says.
Acad offers a premium offer for larger teams that charge a traditional Saas monthly tax per place. It will also monetize the invoicing and invoicing logic on the volume of transactions.
Currently, Adjun has seven employees, including co-founders Will Hubbard (COO) and Evan Dudla (CTO).
All founders have launched and sold more previous startups. Ringlein, for example, previously sold the NCLUD design agency to Twitter in May 2012, for an amount not disclosed. In 2016, Ringlein, Dudla and the CPO of Equipment Michael Dick sold a startup called NVITE to Eventbrite. In 2020, that trio sold also gathered in Brex
Hubbard started his first company, Air Quality Monitor Startup Chemisense, like Junior at UC Berkeley. He managed it for about six years and sold it to Kaioraterra in 2019. Hubbard then started his next company, the niche (verticalized community markets), shortly after, and was acquired by the opera event in 2020.
More recently, Hubbard and Ringlein have also started the company of the company in the initial phase Adventure Fund, which has invested in artists of the caliber of Mercury and Beehiv.
As for the growth plan for the agreement, Pelion Tyler Hogge’s partner declared to Techcrunch that “the most intelligent way to obtain a massive adoption would be to use the electronic signature as Cuneo, to give it for free and make impossible for the accident to answer”.
Hogge added that the “business model is truly unique: free software, monetized through billing and payments”.
Blank Ventures also participated in the seed round, together with the investor Angelo Gokul Rajaram. All existing supporters, including Better Tomorrow Ventures, at 8 bit capital, the Sophia Amoruso trustee fund, Hustle Fund, Everywhere Ventures, Singh Capital Partners and VC in the first person have doubled on their investment.
While the company operates mainly in the United States today, it intends to expand internationally by the end of the year, starting from the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
