The Road Ahead
Built to outlast all of us
FastDraft shipped in 1991. RediDraft™ carries that work forward thirty-five years later, in two product lines and on its strongest footing ever. This page is about what comes next: our plan to make sure the software your practice depends on is there for decades more.
Three decades of trust, and counting
Some of our clients started on FastDraft three decades ago and draft with RediDraft™ today. When a firm builds thirty years of practice on our software, planning for the next thirty stops being optional. Most software companies do succession planning quietly, if at all. We would rather do it in the open, the same way we publish our pricing and our lapse policy.
Planning from strength, on purpose
RediDraft™ Classic, modernized, arrives in August 2026. RediDraft™ One follows in October 2026. The product family is the strongest it has ever been, and the business behind it is healthy. That is exactly when responsible succession planning should happen: from strength and without urgency. Nothing about this plan is a response to trouble, because there isn't any.
What we're looking for
Our intention is to establish RediDraft™ as its own independent company, with a financial partner whose commitment matches our clients' time horizon.
RediDraft's founding leadership will continue to lead the company and set its direction. We are looking for a partner who wants to strengthen that stewardship, not replace it: patient, aligned with the commitments below, and comfortable measuring success in decades, because that is how our clients measure it.
What never changes
Every commitment already published on this site travels with the company. Any partner inherits them:
- Classic is permanent. RediDraft™ Classic is a first-class product, maintained for as long as firms are using it, and no client will ever be pressured to leave it.
- Your work is never held hostage. Software running on your own machines or servers keeps working if a license lapses.
- Your content is yours alone. Client content is never sold, never mined, and never used to train any AI system.
- Licensing stays simple. Annual licensing with everything included, and rates that have been stable for more than five years. Stability is the point.
- Support stays personal. US-based support from people who know the software, not a ticket queue.
For our clients
Nothing about your license, your pricing, or your support changes because of this planning. The entire purpose is the opposite of disruption: making sure the software your practice depends on is never dependent on any one person. We will keep this page current as the road ahead takes shape.
Start a conversation
If you are a potential partner and this stewardship mission resonates, we would like to talk. Write to us and tell us who you are and why the clients of RediDraft™ would be better off with you involved.
Nothing on this page is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities of any kind, nor an offer or solicitation of any investment or financing. It describes our long-term planning and invites private conversation with parties who share our commitment to the clients of RediDraft™.
