About SpotDraft

SpotDraft is the fastest growing, end-to-end contract-automation platform for new-age companies. Some of the world’s most innovative companies use SpotDraft to manage the backbone of their businesses - contracts. SpotDraft is backed by a marquee set of investors such as Premji Invest, Prosus Ventures and Arkam Ventures.

Contracts are the most important unsolved problem in modern business. 100% of all money that enters a business or leaves a business is because someone signed a contract. However, the contracting process at most companies is slow, opaque, and riddled with inefficiencies. Legal Teams at most of these companies are often buried with mountains of mundane work and their business counterparts are often frustrated with slow turnaround times and lack of visibility. SpotDraft aims to solve this massive globally applicable problem.

We’re currently actively expanding our footprint in India, USA, Canada, UK & Singapore. SpotDraft is used by big brands such as AirBnb and Panasonic as well as fast-growing global startups such as Notion, Apollo, Chargebee, and many more. On average, SpotDraft saves in-house legal counsels 10 hours per week and helps close deals 2x faster.
