OneNotary, a San Francisco-based on-demand notarization provider, has closed a $5 million Series A funding round.
The round was led by Jackson Square Ventures, with participation from DocuSign founder Tom Gonser, as well as existing investors DocuSign Ventures, GoodPaper Ventures, Digital Future, and The LegalTech Fund. According to the company, the new funds will be used on sales and marketing efforts, strengthening partnerships, and further developing OneNotary’s product suite.
“Millions of people and businesses endure a terrible, outdated experience notarizing documents each year. We built OneNotary to fix that,” said Ivan Zinkov, co-founder and CEO of OneNotary. “Our solution is loved by customers across industries—from finance and real estate to law, health care, and government—for its seamless implementation and ease-of-use. We’re proud investors are demonstrating their conviction in our business with this new capital and are excited to put it to use in pursuit of our mission.”
Separately, OneNotary entered a partnership with DocuSign that will provide a third-party notary network to DocuSign customers. The new partnership is slated to launch early this summer; the financial aspects of the deal were not disclosed.
“OneNotary will help us replace in-person, paper-based processes for notarization with their one-line API call and a network of notaries available 24/7,” said Mangesh Bhandarkar, group vice president of product management at DocuSign. “Completion rates go up for businesses when signers stay in one experience through the whole signing process.”
