Founding teams often wear multiple hats, juggling all kinds of responsibilities simultaneously. The last thing you want is for something important to fall through the cracks. One massive category that tends to get overlooked is contracts. Contracts are crucial – they define your customer relationships, supplier terms, IP ownership, payment terms, and investor ownership. It’s not worth it for them to be disorganized or even missing in action.
Think about it this way – what would happen if you needed to raise money, but couldn’t find the contract with your largest customer? Or a key developer who wrote half your application. Disaster. Sadly, it happens.
PlainVanilla’s contract management software provides a centralized hub where teams can collaborate seamlessly on contracts and find executed agreements. With features like real-time editing, version control, and automated notifications, the software minimizes the risk of errors and miscommunications that all companies, but especially new companies, just don’t have time for. Streamlining workflows allows startups to focus more on innovation, customers, and less on administrative tasks.
Maintaining visibility and control over contractual obligations is crucial, especially for startups. PlainVanilla offers a bird's-eye view of all contracts in one place, from creation to execution. This heightened visibility ensures that startups are aware of critical dates, milestones, and compliance requirements. We also make sure timelines don’t slip and negotiations don’t drag out. There’s no time for missed communications when you’re building the next big thing. PlainVanilla also provides control over access permissions, safeguarding sensitive information and reducing the risk of unauthorized changes all while being exceptionally user friendly.
Here's the last big piece – cost. When you’re new the last thing you want to do is spend crucial early dollars that could go to product or marketing on software. We’ve been there and we’d like to help. Shoot us a note at info@plainvanilla.co and a member of our team will get back to you with a free year of software.
