The DocuSign website is seen on a laptop in Dobbs Ferry, New York, April 1, 2021.
Contract management platform DocuSign is committed to remaining a public company and is working to convince investors of its artificial intelligence potential, CEO Allan Thygesen told CNBC, after reports suggested the firm had been the target of takeover interest from private equity suitors.
"We're focused on building a great, independent public company," Thygesen told CNBC in an interview earlier this week at a partner event the company held in London.
"I joined DocuSign as a public company, it's a very exciting time right now, so that's our plan."
Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman were unavailable for comment when contacted by CNBC.
