ACREDITTA

What ACREDITTA does

Acreditta is a Bogotá-headquartered SaaS company that operates a digital credentials platform for issuing blockchain-secured, verifiable recognitions. Its product suite covers six interconnected formats — digital badges (Insignias Digitales), digital certificates (Certificados Digitales), micro-credentials (Microcredenciales), blockchain-anchored professional degrees (Títulos profesionales con Blockchain), digital signatures (Firma Digital), and a recipient-facing Digital Skills Wallet (Billetera Digital de Habilidades) — and is aligned with Open Badge 3.0 and the Verifiable Credentials standard. The platform carries IMS Global Learning Consortium certification and offers native integrations with the three leading LMS systems (Moodle, Canvas, D2L), an open API for ecosystem extensions, and SSO via Microsoft Azure AD/Entra ID and Google for enterprise onboarding.

The company serves higher education institutions, corporate training departments, and third-party training providers across roughly 15 countries spanning Latin America, the United States, and Spain. Customers include Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Banco de Bogotá, Itaú, Banco BCI, ICONTEC, and Grupo San Valero, with the platform reporting 500,000+ credentials issued and 92 universities active on the system. Distribution combines a product-led freemium entry point ('Comienza Gratis') for self-serve onboarding with sales-assisted enterprise motion driven by demo requests and direct quotation forms, supplemented by WhatsApp-based inbound conversations suited to regional sales conventions.

Revenue is generated primarily through tiered SaaS subscriptions (specific price points undisclosed) and complementary consulting services for organizations that lack internal credentialing expertise. Pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond the existence of a free tier and a pricing page at info.acreditta.com/precio. Acreditta was founded in 2018, operates with 11-50 employees, and is led by CEO Anabella Laya. The company has recorded one disclosed funding round of $450,000 in 2019; subsequent capital raises, revenue figures, and detailed ownership data are not evidenced in available sources.

Direct peers

• Hyland Credentials (formerly Learning Machine): Hyland Credentials is a blockchain-anchored digital credentialing platform that pioneered verifiable, tamper-proof credentials. It competes most directly with Acreditta on the blockchain professional degree and verifiable credentials angle.
• Accredible: Accredible provides digital certificates and badges with LMS integrations (Canvas, Moodle, D2L) and a digital wallet for recipients. Its product scope, LMS-native distribution, and enterprise/customer focus directly mirror Acreditta's offering.
• Parchment: Parchment (owned by Instructure) focuses on digital transcripts, credentials, and verification for higher education. It competes with Acreditta in credential issuance and verification for universities, particularly in the Americas.
• Open Badge Factory: Open Badge Factory is a European-based Open Badge 3.0 issuer with multi-country presence, similar to Acreditta. It competes for the same higher-education and corporate training customers seeking standards-based digital badges.
• Canvas Credentials (formerly Badgr): Canvas Credentials (Instructure) is an LMS-native digital badge and credential platform deeply embedded in Canvas. It is a direct competitor given Acreditta's Canvas integration and higher-education focus.

Emerging players

• Credentially: Credentially offers digital credentialing and verification with API-first architecture. While more compliance-focused, it overlaps with Acreditta on verifiable credentials issuance and integrations.
• Sertifier: Sertifier is a digital credentialing platform offering certificates, badges, and micro-credentials with LMS integrations. It overlaps with Acreditta on product surface area but operates with a different geographic footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Issuu: Issuu is a broader digital content and document publishing platform that has expanded into verifiable digital credentials and badges. As a broader incumbent, it overlaps partially with Acreditta's certificate and badge use cases.

Regional players
