A Milestone Moment: PostSig Wins WatersTechnology Award for Most Innovative Market Data Initiative
Today, we’re excited to share some big news: PostSig has been recognized as the Most Innovative Market Data Initiative at the WatersTechnology Awards 2025!
This award is more than just a trophy—it’s a validation of the innovation and impact PostSig brings to the world of Contract Performance Management. From the very beginning, we set out to tackle a challenge that traditional systems couldn’t solve: transforming post-signature contracts from static documents into dynamic, living assets that deliver on their promises.
With PostSig, we’ve reimagined what happens after the ink dries. Our AI-native platform brings real-time visibility, actionable insights, and automated compliance to every stage of the contract lifecycle—from activation to renewal and beyond. No clause, term, or risk goes unnoticed thanks to our LineageAI™ engine, which connects every amendment, service order, and nested agreement across the contract stack.
For our customers—asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, and increasingly, venture capital and family offices—this means:
- Risk management that’s proactive, not reactive.
- Vendor spend that’s optimized, not overlooked.
- Compliance that’s built-in, not bolted on.
And most importantly, it means contracts that deliver on their promises—every time.
Winning this award also reflects the passion and expertise that our team brings to solving these challenges. While PostSig itself is only a year old, the team behind it has been building together for more than a decade across three companies. That experience has shaped not just what we make but how we build it, with a relentless focus on product excellence, customer impact, and driving real value for the industry.
We’re just getting started. The challenges we’re tackling extend far beyond vendor contracts—they encompass every critical agreement that drives modern businesses forward. Post-signature complexity is everywhere, and PostSig is here to close that gap with AI-powered intelligence that ensures every contract performs at its best.
To our customers, partners, and everyone who has believed in this vision—thank you. This award is a milestone, but it’s also a reminder that the work is just beginning. We’re honored to be recognized and even more excited to continue leading the way in Contract Performance Management.
Here’s to every contract delivering on its promise—and to the next chapter of PostSig. 🚀
PostSig Wins WatersTechnology Award for Most Innovative Market Data Initiative
Award-Winning Contract Performance Intelligence: PostSig's AI-Powered Platform Transforms Vendor Agreements into Actionable Insights, Ensuring Every Contract Delivers on Its Promise
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6, 2025 (Newswire.com) - PostSig, the AI-native Contract Performance Management (CPM) platform that transforms post-signature agreements into actionable insights, is proud to announce it has been named the Most Innovative Market Data Initiative at the prestigious WatersTechnology Awards 2025. This award honors PostSig's industry-defining innovation in using AI to transform contract management, helping capital markets firms maximize the value of their vendor agreements, from technology to market data contracts.
This award is a clear signal that we're meeting a deep need in the industry," said Hendrik Bartel, CEO and Co-Founder of PostSig. "We launched the platform just last year, but our team brings decades of experience building enterprise software-and we've been AI-native from day one. Vendor and technology agreements are just the start. Capital markets teams are asking for better ways to manage risk, compliance, and performance across all critical contract types. That's exactly what we're delivering."
WatersTechnology highlighted PostSig's LineageAI™ engine, which revolutionizes contract oversight by connecting every amendment, service order, and nested agreement-ensuring no clause, term, or risk goes unnoticed. This innovation is already reshaping how leading asset managers, hedge funds, and private equity firms manage contract performance.
Driving Massive Value for the Industry
PostSig's award-winning AI-powered platform empowers capital markets teams to:
-
Identify and mitigate compliance risks hidden in complex contracts
-
Optimize vendor spend by uncovering unused licenses and silent renewals
-
Stay audit-ready with advanced analytics, including DORA compliance scoring
-
Move from fragmented oversight to centralized, actionable contract intelligence
PostSig's CPM platform elevates every stage of the post-signature lifecycle-from activation to renewal and termination-ensuring that no obligation or opportunity is missed. With AI-powered intelligence, PostSig brings clarity, oversight, and performance optimization to even the most complex vendor agreements.
A New Standard for Post-Signature Contract Performance
"This team has been building together for over a decade across three companies - and this is the most urgent problem we've tackled yet," said Phil Kim, Chief Strategy Officer. "PostSig is redefining what post-signature means. It's not just about storing contracts - it's about activating them. We're giving capital markets teams real visibility and control across vendor, data, and commercial agreements. That's why this recognition matters: it validates a new standard for contract performance."
As capital markets navigate growing vendor complexity, PostSig cements its leadership as the industry's go-to platform for post-signature contract performance-empowering teams to protect margins, reduce risk, and unlock hidden value long after the ink has dried.
Beyond Vendor Contracts: A Platform for the Post-Signature Era
While PostSig's early traction has come from solving critical pain points in vendor and technology agreements, the company sees a broader pattern emerging: post-signature complexity exists across all high-stakes agreements-from commercial partnerships to data licenses to fund terms.
"The challenges don't stop at vendor contracts," added Bartel. "Post-signature is a universal gap-and we're building the platform to close it."
PostSig is building a full-stack platform to meet that need-enabling capital markets teams to operationalize any contract after signature with the same level of intelligence, transparency, and performance tracking.
