Hi Product Hunt! Jake here, co-founder and CEO of Common Paper. Thanks so much @ellenchisa for hunting us! When running my previous two startups, I found contracts to be confusing, time-consuming, and costly. That’s why we built a free resource for founders in a similar situation, offering the fastest, most trustworthy way for SaaS companies to create and understand commercial contracts. 🚀 Enter the SaaS Agreement Toolkit! 🚀 📃 A suite of standard agreements for every stage, including a Mutual NDA, Cloud Service Agreement, Data Processing Agreement, Design Partner Agreement, Service Level Agreement, and Terms of Service. 🤖 TurboTax-style guides that walk you through customizing the standard agreements, step by step with examples and tips. 📏 A Benchmark Report to help you make sense of what’s typical in SaaS contracts. Based on data from the proposed & signed contracts of more than 150 companies, the report provides context on the market trends for different terms and how they influence negotiation. For example, 85% of NDAs have a fixed rather than a perpetual term of confidentiality. Proposing a perpetual term decreases the odds of getting a signed agreement by 16%! Our vision at Common Paper is to turn contracts into APIs. A key part of making that vision a reality is helping more people use and understand standard contracts. We’d love to hear your feedback, especially about other types of contracts that you’d like to see next.

Great approach! Looks fresh n simple. Congrats on the launch 🚀 @jakestein

This is an amazing resource for entrepreneurs! The contracts, TurboTax-style guides, and benchmarks are exactly what I need to sell my SaaS product. Thank you for making this available and congrats on the launch!

Very helpful!! Congratulations!!

congrats with the launch

Very impressive. Congratulations on the launch team!

Love it! Wanted to build this for years now 😁 Looks great, congrats on the launch and good luck 🍀

I’ve seen a deal take 3 months to get to POC simply because the NDA was getting negotiated. Common Papar removed all this friction to allow deals to close faster, shortening sales cycles, improving cash flow, and making it easier for teams to focus on what matters (solving pain points not worrying about legal docs)!

Great resource for anyone starting or growing a Saas business

This is solving what is such an unnecessary burden for startup software companies. Rarely do you need something unique or differentiated to get started. Literally this saves you thousands of dollars. Great idea!

I'm so glad that this exists now. Legal is one of those things that needs to get done but typically outside of a founders reason for building the company. Thanks Jake and team for building this amazing resource

Fantastic resource for getting deals over the finish line. Looks very easy to use. Love the approach - standards FTW!

Congratulations on the launch @jakestein! Have heard such great things, esp. around the design partner agreements!

A time and money saver that will avoid unnecessary risk exposure! I'm sold.

@jakestein and team are fantastic to work with. We're using Common Paper for CSA, NDA, and Terms of Service and all have saved us a ton of time.

Exciting launch! Will be getting this ASAP 🙌

Congrats to you and the team, @jakestein! This is an incredibly useful resource, especially for early-stage founders like me. Excited to see where Common Paper goes from here :-)

Wow! Where has this been all my life? Sales and partnerships teams (and our legal counterparts) everywhere - rejoice!

fantastic, congrats on the launch!

💪🏼 Let's go @jakestein - closing deals at the speed of SaaS - there is PLG for users but this is what founders need to close deals quickly and not get stuck in legalese - the more of you who try this, the smarter and better your negotiations will be
