Sadq is a Saudi-based B2B SaaS platform providing digital signatures and document authentication solutions that are legally binding under Saudi regulations, enabling individuals and organizations to replace paperwork with secure, electronic signing in seconds.[2][3] It serves businesses across sectors by streamlining workflows, reducing operational costs by up to 85%, and accelerating transactions by 90%, while integrating with national systems like Nafath and Saudi Root-CA Certificates.[2][3][4] Sadq solves the problem of inefficient paper-based processes in a digital transformation era, with strong growth momentum including a 2023 seed round from Sanabil 500, a pivotal Digital Trust Services License from the Digital Government Authority (DGA), and a $1.5 million pre-Series A in April 2025 led by X by Unifonic Fund.[1][3][4]
Sadq was founded in 2022 by Abdullah Allahuo (CEO) and Salem Al-Badawi (CTO) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, operating in the IT consulting and systems integration sector with a focus on internet and IT services.[1][3] The idea emerged amid Saudi Arabia's push for digitalization under Vision 2030, addressing the need for compliant electronic signatures legally equivalent to handwritten ones per the Electronic Transactions Law and Article 58 of the Saudi Evidence Law.[2][3] Early traction came via a 2023 seed round led by Sanabil 500, followed by the landmark DGA license, which boosted credibility and adoption across public and private sectors.[3]
Sadq rides the wave of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 digital transformation, capitalizing on regulatory shifts like the Electronic Transactions Law and DGA licensing that mandate digital trust services.[2][3] Timing is ideal amid rising demand for paperless workflows in government, finance, and enterprises, fueled by market forces such as cybersecurity emphasis (NCA registration) and national infrastructure integration (Nafath).[3][4] It influences the ecosystem by accelerating B2B SaaS adoption in MENA, partnering with players like Unifonic for expanded authentication, and setting standards for secure, localized digital tools that reduce costs and boost efficiency.[3][4]
Sadq is poised to scale as Saudi digital trust demand surges, using its $1.5M pre-Series A to enhance tech, hire talent, and forge partnerships—potentially dominating regional e-signature markets.[3][4] Trends like AI-driven authentication, deeper Vision 2030 integrations, and MENA SaaS growth will shape its path, evolving its influence from a compliant signer to a full workflow platform amid rising cyber regulations.[2][3] This positions Sadq as a cornerstone of Saudi's paperless future, building on its rapid traction to lead digital efficiency.
Sadq has raised $3.5M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $1.0M Series A Extension in September 2025.
