Sadq

Saudi-based Sadq raised USD 1 million as an extension of its pre-Series A round from Impact46.

“Our conviction in Sadq starts with our conviction in the founders: a deep understanding of the problem, disciplined execution, and an explicit focus on customer value. We see the company building a foundational layer of the Kingdom’s digital infrastructure through trusted e-signature and identity-verification solutions with high standards of security and compliance,“ said Basmah Alsinaidi of Impact46. 

Founded by Abdullah Allahuo and Salem Albadawi, Sadq is a digital-signature and workflow-authentication platform. It provides legally binding e-signature and workflow-authentication solutions compliant with Saudi regulations for enterprise customers.

Digital Trust

Up next, with the funding, it aims to accelerate product development and strengthen security and compliance. It also aims to scale go-to-market in Saudi Arabia and the wider region. In addition, it seeks to leverage Impact46’s portfolio, enhancing collaboration in digital infrastructure and enterprise software solutions regionally.

“Sadq was not built in response to a fleeting opportunity, but to address a real and persistent challenge in the market. Still, we remained committed to our vision: to build a Saudi-born digital signature product, rooted in local regulations and aligned with global standards of security, compliance, and usability,” said Abdullah Allahuo, Co-Founder & CEO of Sadq.

With the investment, it also aims to support its ambition to develop a regional innovation ecosystem for digital trust. Additionally, it aims to create reliable products that address local market requirements while remaining competitive internationally.
