What really happened in DocuSign’s early years—and how close did it come to failing?

In this episode, I sit down with Court Lorenzini, the founding CEO of DocuSign, for a raw and revealing conversation about the early days of one of the world’s most iconic SaaS companies.

We talk about:

• Growing up around the original builders of Silicon Valley

• Starting out as a janitor in his father's company

• The emotional toll of early-stage entrepreneurship

• Why he turned down Adobe

• Firing customers to stay alive

• The Microsoft moment that changed everything

• And his mission now with Founder Nexus

This is not a story about overnight success—it’s about risk, belief, and the quiet decisions that shape billion-dollar companies.

Whether you're building your first startup or scaling your next venture, this episode will hit home._________________________________________________________
