DocSend Raises $8 Million To Deepen Its Offering And Accelerate Growth

Listen to this article

DocSend helps sales people understand how their prospects are interacting with the documents they send by providing instant read notifications and detailed analytics on their engagement. Lately they’ve announced $8 Million Series A funding round, raised from August Capital. Below is our interview with Russ Heddleston, CEO and Co-founder of DocSend:

Russ Heddleston

Q: Russ, what inspired you to start working on DocSend?

A: We built DocSend because we realized that despite massive changes in communication technology, and an incredible amount of sales tools being on the market, getting a deal done online is still much harder than it should be. Documents especially have been left by the wayside, with most of the innovation being isolated to the creation and storage aspects.

Q: What are your key features?

A: DocSend helps sales people understand how their prospects are interacting with the documents they send by providing instant read notifications and detailed analytics on their engagement. With DocSend, senders retain total control over the documents they send. You can set expiration dates, or update them at any time, even after they’re in a client’s hands. We also provide a live presentation feature that is the easiest way to present a deck or document remotely.

Q: Which customers can benefit from your services and how?

A: Any person that sends documents as part of a deal or sale can benefit from DocSend. We’ve especially helped businesses in SaaS, Media and Finance. Sellers benefit from having a better understanding of what their prospects are interested in, staying in control of the documents they send, and also from presenting their sales materials in an easy to use client experience.

Q: How would you convince the reader to start using DocSend?

A: I would ask the reader if they’ve ever had a deal go cold and not known when to reach out, made an embarrassing typo on a document they emailed out, or had to fumble to get a screen share running just to present a slide deck. DocSend solves all of that, and you can get an account for free at DocSend.com .
