Shake (company)

Its primary product is the Shake app, which allows individuals to create, sign and send legally binding agreements through their iOS devices.

[1][2] The Shake Law app includes a library of simple, plain-English legal agreements that can be executed via a mobile device.

It includes a number of stock contract templates pertaining to Freelancing/Independent Contractors, Non-Disclosure Agreements, Buying and Selling, Rental of Goods, and Personal Loans.

The original idea for Shake came from Jon Steinberg, president of BuzzFeed, and Jared Grusd, General Counsel for Spotify and an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School.

The two men connected with RRE Ventures’ Stuart Ellman (who also teaches at Columbia) and told him about an idea they had for a business aimed at simplifying legal contracts.
