What ROGER does

Sending and signing contracts should be easy. So why is it that existing eSignature tools are all so janky? The last thing you need is a frustrating eSignature tool. That’s why we’re building Roger - a faster, simpler eSignature. Think of it like what Linear did to Jira.

A faster, simpler eSignature for contracts

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Roger, an eSignature tool focused on making sending and signing contracts easy and painless. Existing tools on the market are clunky and frustrating, so we built something faster and simpler, aimed at people who actually send contracts regularly and want to avoid the usual headaches.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're all in New York now, deeply connected to the local market and customers. Staying here lets us move fast with early feedback and sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real ROGER YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from ROGER's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like ROGER would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
