2022 Q1

  • 📄 Invoicing

    Sometimes a simple invoice will do. We're building a simply invoicing feature to enable you to get paid profesionally without needing to send a contract.

  • ðŸ’ī ACH (aka e-check)

    Ditch those old paper checks! Give your clients the ability to pay with an e-check which lowers fees and provides the increased speed and security.

  • ðŸ‘Đ‍💞 New Industries

    We will be introducing new market categories like Coaches, Health Practioners, Agencies, etc...

2022 Q2

  • ðŸ“ą New Mobile App

    We are moving to a "mobile-first" product and we have started the process of building a brand new mobile app with full controls for creating and sending contracts as well as managing your account.

  • ðŸ‘Ĩ Multi-Signature

    Sometimes a contract needs multiple people to agree to it. With this feature you'll be able to add multiple signers and require signatures from all of them in order to move forward.

Previous Years

ðŸĨģ

2021

  • 🏗 Implement New Rebuild

    We rebuilt the entire backend of Agree.com. With over $300,000,000.00 worth of transactions this was a huge undertaking. 

  • 🗓 Scheduled Payments

    Now you can offer your clients the ability to pay over time with our new Scheduled Payment feature. Simply add the dates and the amounts and your client will be charged automatically.

  • 🧙ðŸŧ Adios Wizard

    We have removed the walk through wizard required in order to create your contract. Now you can go from start - to - send in less than a minute! 

ðŸĨ

2020

  • 100% rebuild

    Moving from Angular JS to Angular (I know that's confusing) was a huge task and with $250k worth of contracts being processed every single day there is literally no room for error.

  • Covid craziness

    What a year! We were already a remote team so our day to day didn't change but it was a hard year to not get sucked into some type of drama.

  • Here we go

    Everyone was excited about 2020 and then....well...you know what happened....

🆕

2019

  • New vision

    With Agree.com needing a full rebuild it was time to start planning for an entirely new team and product.

  • New team

    We moved to a fractional (contractor) model in order to bring in incredible talent to plan for the future of Agree

  • New updates

    We shipped a few updates this year that improved the wizard and added some functionality to the contracts.

ðŸŠī

2018

  • Time to grow

    We now had a good platform that was working well and bringing on customers consistently. We had processsed about $100 Million worth of contract value and customers were happy.

  • Minor updates

    We didn't make many additions to the platform during this year and focused on servicing and listening to the customer feedback.

  • Angular JS phase out

    In July of 2018 Angular JS started a three year phase out which means we needed to get to work on an entire new build.

🚚

2017

  • Transition to Bend

     A couple of us moved from Santa Barbara and went up to Bend, OR and we transitioned to a new tech team. 

  • Stabilizing the product

    This was a much needed but slow process but getting the platform stabilized and making incremental changes on it was the top priority.

  • Wepay integration

    We completed a transiton from facilitating our own payments to using Wepay (now Chase bank).

💰

2016

  • Digital Payments

    Payment facilitating was hard. Really hard. We orginally went through the ringer and became our own "payment facilitator". 

  • Big Problems

    Becoming our own payment facilitor at this time was like walking in the dark through a mine field. There was no roadmap and a constantly changing enviroment.

  • Lots of marketers - no product

    We are a bootstrapped startup and we started to run out of money. We had sales and marketing ready to go but the product delays were killing us.

🧙

2015

  • The wizard

    We wanted the product to be incrdibly simple and for the user to be able to create their first contract without even creating an account so we built a wizard where they would be creating a contract while also creating their account.

  • Problems Problems Problems

    We chose to use a new technology called Angular JS which at the time was being taughted as the future...well...it wasn't

  • Contract Builder

    This was the first piece of the puzzel. We wanted to create a simple drag & drop contract builder where small businesses could create a contract in less than 1-minute.

ðŸŒą

2014

  • The initial product

    Although Agree.com is a simple product the research and development was a long phase. We explored many diffrent business models and talked to a lot of people about the payment facilitating piece.


  • The initial team

    The original Agree.com was the Shoot & Share team. We had built several products in the past including Pass, Showit and Shoot & Share.

  • The initial idea

    Like most good ideas it didn't come from one person or while sitting on yoga ball. The idea of Agree.com came through community. Specifically the Shoot & Share photography community.
