YC-Funded HelloFax: Sign And Send Faxes From Your Browser, Without The Hassle

In a perfect world, the fax machine would have taken the hint by now and made a graceful exit as it was supplanted by superior (and more environmentally friendly) technologies like email and e-signatures. Alas, faxes are still around, and some businesses insist on using them on a daily basis. Fortunately companies like eFax have sprung up to serve as stand-ins for fax machines, and now there's a new Y Combinator-funded startup that's looking to make life even easier. Meet HelloFax. Now, online fax services aren't anything new. eFax and MyFax (which was just acquired by the former) both offer robust services to deal with faxes without having to actually own a machine. At least, that's the promise. But HelloFax founders Joseph Walla and Neal O'Mara say that these services make it a pain to actually fill out forms and sign documents, which leads people to print them out, sign them, and then scan them into their computers to send them back (which sort of defeats the point). HelloFax wants to fix this.
