About

Sathvik Tantry is a SaaS entrepreneur and digital marketing expert best known for co-founding FormSwift in 2012, a cloud based document management platform that he scaled from zero to over 10 million documents created before selling to Dropbox for $95 million in 2022.

Sathvik worked in performance marketing at Inflection managing Archives.com before co-founding FormSwift. As CEO, he built FormSwift into one of Inc. 5000's fastest growing companies, ranking #271 in 2016 with 1,360% growth. The bootstrapped company served millions of small business owners and contractors with tools to create, edit, sign, and collaborate on forms and documents, eliminating unnecessary printing and paperwork. In December 2022, Dropbox acquired FormSwift for $95 million in cash to enhance its end to end agreement workflow capabilities and expand its document template library.

Today, Sathvik advises founders in SaaS, document workflow, and productivity software companies, helping them scale through digital marketing, build bootstrapped businesses, and position for strategic exits to larger platforms.

"When preparing for an exit, founders need to identify what's missing in their potential acquirer's product suite and position their company as the solution that completes the picture. That's how you create urgency and maximize value in M&A conversations."
