Validated ID, a Barcelona-headquartered digital signature, e-invoicing and Digital Identity solutions, has just secured an impressive €2m worth of extra investment capital.
The new financing is led by the Randstad Innovation Fund, the corporate venture arm of the HR services industry leader, with the participation of co-investor Caixa Capital Risc, as well as from founders, previous partners, and the leading Spanish law firm Cuatrecasas, via its startup investment vehicle, Cuatrecasas Ventures.
The company’s SaaS electronic signature service for face-to-face and remote digital signature applications, VIDsigner, is used by over 100 partners and over 1000 clients, success buoyed by a new Blockchain-powered Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) service, VIDchain. The plan now: enter a new stage of expansion with the aim of intensifying the internationalisation of both products.
