In January 2007, Court Lorenzini stepped down as CEO and Chairman of the Board and took on the role of Executive Vice President of Business Development. Mock trials featuring licensed attorneys and real judges highlighted the admissibility of DocuSign contracts in court based on encrypted audit logs of signature events, as well as the impossibility of changing contracts. The firm began sales in 2005 when zipForm, now zipLogix, integrated DocuSign into its virtual real estate forms. Gonser then left the NetUpdate Board to focus on DocuSign full-time. With internal support from Gonser, Lorenzini negotiated the purchase of certain DocuTouch assets from NetUpdate and started DocuSign. DocuTouch held patents on Web-based digital signatures and collaboration. Timberline invested another $1 M in the merger into Netupdate. Through its history, NetUpdate had acquired several companies, including an e-signature start-up in Seattle called DocuTouch that had been funded by Timberline Venture Partners, Bill Kallman and Jeff Tung with $4M. Tom Gonser came up with the idea when he was at NetUpdate, a company he founded in 1998, and where he served as CEO.
