Become a design partner
Decades of paper. Seconds to the answer. PaperlessZen is opening to advancement teams in waves, and we're shaping the product with a small group of design partners as we go. Leave your details and we'll be in touch as partner spots open.
What partnering with us gets you
- An honest picture of where we are
You'll hear what's live today and what's still on the roadmap. We hold the same honesty standard in how we onboard as in the product.
- A pilot on one box, not a two-year project
When your wave opens, a pilot starts with one box or one fund's agreements, on your own documents, so you see the whole loop work before you plan the archive.
- A scoped, paid engagement — not a free trial
A design-partner pilot is real implementation work on your documents, so it's a scoped, paid engagement rather than a trial. Founding partners get founding pricing, locked in while we build alongside you. Applying and the demo are always free.
- No data-entry commitment
Local capture and auto-classification mean partnering with us never signs you up for a summer of temp staff keying paper.
- A hand in how it looks and feels
The interface is still being decided, and design partners are the ones deciding it. You see it first, on your own documents, and your feedback shapes what ships.

Frequently asked questions
What am I signing up for?
A chance to become a design partner for PaperlessZen. Applying is free and commits you to nothing. We use this to open partner spots in order and to bring on the institutions whose document pain fits what we support today.
Does it cost anything?
Applying and the demo are free. If you decide to run a pilot after that, it's a scoped, paid engagement — real implementation and onboarding work on your own documents, not a free trial. Founding partners get founding pricing, locked in while we build alongside you. We'll walk you through what that looks like on the demo.
When will I hear back?
We open partner spots in waves and reach out as capacity allows, advancement teams first. If you'd rather not wait, ask for a demo and we'll walk your own documents through the system.
Is my information safe?
We only use what you share here to contact you about becoming a design partner. We don't sell it or pass it on. Your documents never touch this form; the archive itself runs in your institution's own cloud subscription.
