When you say Fortune 500 companies have signed your agreements, are these material agreements, or NDAs and small-dollar contracts? Or are they signing six- and seven-figure deals on your paper?

Some of them are six-figure deals. I don't personally know about any seven-figure deals, but we only find out about a minority of the use of the agreements.

The NDA is definitely the highest volume agreement, however. And a lot more of the deals are for 10k than $300k.

How much can you "see" of the contracts being signed? Is it a "we just promise not to look, much" or are they encrypted such that you need customer permission to view?

We would not need a customer's key in order to access a contract. However, only certain members of our team have the ability to access contracts, and they only do that when needed for support or to fix a bug. We log all instances of accessing a customer's account.

Stats like those I shared above are from a combination of what users tell us and from aggregated, anonymized metrics across our app.
