Sadq plans to expand its secure digital signature platform across Saudi Arabia’s growing digital trust
ecosystem.

Startup Scene Apr 16, 2025

Sadq, a Riyadh-based provider of digital signatures and workflow documentation solutions, has raised $1.46 million (SAR 5.5
million) in a Pre-Series A round led by X by Unifonic, the early-stage venture arm of Unifonic. The round included participation
from other strategic investors as the company looks to deepen its reach in Saudi Arabia’s evolving digital trust sector.

Founded in 2022 by Abdullah Al-Lahou and Salem Al-Badawi, Sadq offers electronic signature tools that comply with local
digital trust standards and are designed to streamline documentation processes for businesses and government entities. The
startup gained significant traction after securing a Digital Trust Services license from the Saudi Digital Government Authority in
2023—a key credential enabling it to operate as a verified provider in the Kingdom’s rapidly digitising public and private
sectors.

With this latest investment, Sadq aims to scale its infrastructure, enhance security features, and improve system performance
through technologies such as auto-scaling architecture. These upgrades are intended to support increased demand as more
institutions transition to paperless workflows under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 digital transformation agenda.
