Slightly OT but has anyone else gotten equity grants vía Carta? They are “signed” with a unverifiable digital signature. So you just have to trust that the document that they have is signed and that they will keep track of the records correctly. It’s very poorly done and gives the impression that they are low in technical competence.
- derwiki 6y agoI mean.. don’t we use digital signature everywhere? We’re even starting to see that for home closing paperwork.
- briandw 6y agoYes but DocuSign gives you a certificate chain that you can check the digital signature with.
- mchusma 6y agoE-signature law is rock solid, there had never in the US been a contract tossed out solely because the signature was electronic. This ship has sailed a long time ago. Scribbling on a dead tree is not superior.
- briandw 6y agoI agree completely that real signatures aren’t really useful. What I was trying to say is that they don’t give you a way to verify the digital signature. I believe that DocuSign does provide a certificate chain that you can use the check the signature.
