Contractbook
By Contractbook ApS
Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in late 2015 or 2017 by Jarek Owczarek, Niels Martin Brochner, and Viktor Heide, Contractbook is a cloud-native contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform. Operating as a SaaS business, it empowers teams to draft, sign, store, organize, and automate contracts—offering a unified, data-driven workspace with advanced features like e-signature, metadata, AI-powered drafting, workflows, and integrations.
Contractbook raised $3.9 M seed (2019), $9.4 M Series A (Dec 2020, led by Bessemer and Gradient Ventures), and $30 M Series B (Aug 2023, led by Tiger Global), totaling approximately $43–44 M. By mid-2025, it was acquired by Scrive (Jun 18, 2025), strengthening its position as a leading European CLM provider. Backed by top-tier VCs, the company reached operational break-even in 2024, and had expanded globally with over 250,000 users across 85+ countries.
As a modern CLM tool, Contractbook delivers end-to-end contract automation through AI-imported templates, drag-and-drop document editors, automated workflows, granular permissions, analytics, and real-time activity tracking. Its changelog and 2025 roadmap reveal ongoing updates like a redesigned admin user hub, multi-stage signing groups, advanced review pages, and improved template filtering. A recent Whippy AI integration further enhances contract orchestration across communications.
Contractbook values accessibility, transparency, sustainability, and customer-centric design, with commitments like CO₂-neutral operations and planting trees for every 100th signature.
Employee reviews highlight a vibrant, remote-friendly start-up culture with flexible work arrangements and rapid innovation. Occasional criticism centers on frequent strategic shifts, unclear career paths, or management communication—common scaling pains in growth-phase tech companies.
The platform serves over 65,000–250,000 users and 2,000+ customers in 70–85+ countries. Notable users include Zapp, Lenus, Bonzer, Mutebox, and MAX Burger, who report 25–80% time savings, accuracy improvements, and better workflows.
