Bonsai (YC W16)

Looks really good, thanks for sharing. Created a sample contract, nice and easy. Are the contracts the same for US and UK? I've only created a sample UK one, but notice that you…

Just completed my first contract/charge via @bonsai, I'm in love to say the least. Makes creating a contract and getting clients setup for billing a snap

The app itself looks really nice, but I'm unconvinced this will be useful in practice. The number of times our company has sent a contract and had it accepted without revisions…

Awesome, I'm looking into becoming a freelancer next year and will definitely try bonsai. Thanks and good luck.

Seems neat, commenting for later in case I decide to start taking up more freelance again.

I like this idea, and would probably use it. I only seem to be able to select "United States" (and subsequently choose a state) in the contract, though. Are there any plans to…

I talked to your support team about this. The contract, as a base, is good, but there are some clients that just need to change the language or other fields that are NOT editable…

If I'm reading the pricing copy correctly, the contracts themselves are free and invoicing service charges $1 per invoice. Is it possible to be profitable (in a successful…

bulletproof + free = ? what happens when the contract is contested? and what if you lose?

I was thinking the same then I look at their page footer. > Bonsai is not a law firm, does not provide legal services or advice, and does not provide or participate in legal…

If you support 2checkout I would be able to use it in Bolivia, and many other latinamerica developers will also be able too. Hiring freelancer for most international clients is…

Yep, definitely looking to expand international support for contracts and especially payments. That's one of our largest themes in feature requests right now. Thanks for…

Siiiick! Any chance you'll handle tax remittances? Contractor taxes (esp) in Canada are kind of a quagmire.

Not yet but it's been very heavily requested. Definitely looking into it.

Yep, we definitely understand the need for more flexibility. In about 1 week there will be many more options to edit. The big reason we didn't do that sooner is that we didn't…

look nice couple of questions ``` - do you plan to make it work with something like Paypal API ? - maybe other language than English ? ``` look promising anyway

This looks interesting for me, thanks for sharing! Question: what is your end-of-life plan in the event of acquisition or business shut down?

I'm having trouble figuring out if this is a product that would benefit me. I'm a contractor / freelancer. When I take on a client, I receive a PSA with statement of work, and…

Have you built NDA, I Assignment, etc into these contracts? Lots of people use Upwork for contracting, but would still like to send a contract with the right legal wording that…

Could you talk about why I would choose you over using Upwork's default contract form? Or are you saying that people would move their project entirely to you? Because there is…

One way to think of the contracts piece is as a RocketLawyer or LegalZoom verticalized for freelancers. We provide contracts that are written and maintained specifically for…
