I find this to be a fascinating example of the Y-Combinator effect. SignNow has been doing this for six months now, on mobile and the web, with the top ranked signing iOS app. Then they launched Online Notarization, after fighting years to get it legalized and rolled out. Despite all this, they've gotten barely a mention on TechCrunch, and PG shut down their Online Notarization post. SignNow & others can absolutely be fabulously successful, but Y-combinator in my mind really makes your life easier in a lot of ways.
- sadga 14y agoNot everyone who works with electronic signatures reads HN or TechCrunch, though.
- mchusma 14y agoAgreed. It's just an interesting advantage. I don't think it makes you successful, clearly most Y-Combinator companies still fail.
- sunil137 14y agoI agree with your comment about YCombinator effect of making the startup's life easier than the rest. In the long run, whoever innovates faster and listen to customer's needs better will win the race, it might be one company or more than one company similar to how enterprise esignature market has been dominated by top 2-3 companies so far. Like SignNow, SignEasy App has been enabling mobile esignatures since July, 2010 and in fact, it was one of the first in bringing the novelty of esignatures using an iPhone/iPad and consistently ranked in top 50 business apps worldwide. At the end, all of the new startups are all trying to make digital signature universally accessible to everyone and trying to innovate better as compared to the status-quo.
