Union Square Advisors previously served as exclusive financial advisor to SpringCM in its $25 million Series E financing
Demonstrates Union Square Advisors’ continued momentum in providing broad-ranging advisory services to leading technology disruptors and next generation software companies
On July 31, 2018, DocuSign Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire SpringCM, a leading cloud-based document generation and contract lifecycle management software company based in Chicago.
With the addition of SpringCM’s capabilities in document generation, redlining, advanced document management, and end-to-end agreement workflow, the deal further accelerates DocuSign’s broadening of its solution beyond e-signature to the rest of the agreement process—from preparing to signing, acting-on, and managing agreements.
Under the terms of the agreement, DocuSign will acquire SpringCM for approximately $220 million in cash. Subject to customary closing conditions, including U.S. regulatory approval, the acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of DocuSign’s fiscal year.
This is the second transaction where Union Square Advisors partnered with SpringCM. In February 2017, Union Square Advisors served as the exclusive financial advisor to SpringCM on its $25 million capital raise.
