New Signature

What New Signature does

New Signature is a privately held technology and web solutions provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Washington, United States, with a headcount of 101-250 employees. The company's stated positioning centers on 'delivering exceptional technology and web solutions,' indicating a professional services and solutions delivery model serving external clients rather than a packaged-software or consumer-product business. The input data does not disclose specific product lines, vertical focus, or customer segments for New Signature itself, and the extensive Microsoft-cloud product and customer information in the source material pertains to Cognizant's Microsoft Business Group rather than New Signature.

The firm's growth history is defined by a sequence of acquisitions and capital raises rather than disclosed product launches. Between 2015 and 2019, New Signature acquired imason inc (November 2015), InfraScience (December 2015), and Nebbia Technology (May 2019), signaling a roll-up strategy to broaden technical capability. Capital access supported this activity: a $35 million equity round closed in April 2015 led by Columbia Capital with Eastward Capital Partners, followed by a $15 million debt facility in July 2018 from Horizon Technology Finance. The combination of equity and specialty debt suggests the company was viewed by capital providers as an established, cash-generative growth platform during this period.

Leadership combines operational and founder continuity. CEO Jeff Tench leads the company; founders Dan Scarfe and David Geevaratne (who also serves as Chief Sales Officer) remain in active roles, and Neil Hobbs serves as Chairman. The 20+ year operating history, multi-time capital access, and a track record of three acquisitions position New Signature as an established mid-market IT services firm, though the absence of post-2019 disclosures on revenue, headcount, customer mix, or product detail limits forward-looking analysis.
