OneNotary, a leading on-demand notarization provider, announced it closed a $5 million Series A and entered a deal with DocuSign to provide a third-party notary network to DocuSign customers. Jackson Square Ventures led this funding round, with participation from DocuSign founder Tom Gonser and existing investors DocuSign Ventures, GoodPaper Ventures, Digital Future, and The LegalTech Fund.
DocuSign will integrate OneNotary into its range of notary solutions. When it launches early this summer, this integration will expand DocuSign Notary to third-party notaries, offering more multi-state certified notary platform options for DocuSign customers.
The funding round will be deployed to accelerate marketing and sales efforts, strengthen partnerships, and develop OneNotary’s product suite to meet the growing demand for online verification services.
Since its founding in 2020, OneNotary has grown quickly, as its product is used by tens of thousands of notaries and customers. In the past year, the company has doubled revenue, and its marketplace of notaries across the country has grown to over 30,000.
