Syngrafii

What Syngrafii does

Syngrafii Inc., founded in 2013 in Toronto, Canada by Margaret Atwood and Matthew Gibson, operates a compliance-first electronic signature platform that combines biometric signature capture, identity verification, live video signing, and tamper-proof audit trails. The company's core offering is iinked Sign, augmented by Video Signing Room (VSR) for live video-conference signing sessions, iinked ID Verification (IDV) with government ID plus selfie/liveness checks, iinked Seal for electronic notarization, and Video Notary Room (VNR) for Remote Online Notarization. The platform is built around MasterFile, an automatically generated tamper-proof evidence package capturing biometric data (pressure, speed), session video/audio, identity verification, IP addresses, geolocation, and immutable timestamps. Syngrafii also offers LongPen, a robotic wet-ink signing device for workflows requiring physical wet-ink signatures.

The company monetizes through a hybrid subscription and usage-based model branded Pay As You Sign, complemented by transaction fees, LongPen hardware sales, and white-label/OEM licensing for platform integrators. Pricing is positioned below seat-based competitors DocuSign and Adobe for deployments of approximately 50 users over five years. Syngrafii distributes through direct enterprise field sales, regional channel partners (MetaDolce Technologies for 100+ countries, Digitcom in Canada, Emitac in UAE, DDL), deep OEM integrations with platforms such as iManage, CREA WEBForms, Aryza, Dye & Durham Unity, and RealtyServer Xposure, plus a self-serve SMB motion via iinkedSign.com. The company serves regulated verticals — real estate, legal, finance and lending, government, and healthcare — and holds 45+ granted and pending patents across 11 patent families covering its core technologies in multiple jurisdictions including the US, Canada, EU, UK, Japan, Korea, India, and Australia.

Leadership is founder-led, with Matthew Gibson serving as CEO and Margaret Atwood as co-founder; additional named leaders include John Gruetzner (COO), Tony Canapini (CFO), and Eric Strong (VP Business Development). Syngrafii operates with 11-50 employees across offices in Toronto (headquarters) and Calabasas, California (regional US), with partner-hosted EU data residency via eBRC Luxembourg and active business in 100+ countries. The company has pursued growth through partnerships, integrations, and a single acquisition (Velocity e-Sign and LIVEsign in November 2022) rather than external fundraising, with no funding rounds disclosed.

Direct peers

• DocuSign: Category-leading e-signature platform that Syngrafii directly compares against on its website. Both serve regulated industries with electronic signature, identity verification, and audit trail capabilities, though DocuSign's video signing is RON-specific while Syngrafii's is native.
• Notarize: Direct competitor in Remote Online Notarization (RON) with live video signing and identity verification. Syngrafii launched Video Notary Room (VNR) explicitly to compete in the US notary market where Notarize is established.
• OneSpan: Public digital signature and identity verification company serving banks and regulated industries. Overlaps directly with Syngrafii's banking and legal verticals with comparable KYC/AML and e-signature capabilities.
• PandaDoc: Document workflow and e-signature platform competing for similar mid-market and SMB customers. Targets many of the same verticals including real estate, legal, and financial services.
• Dropbox Sign (HelloSign): e-Signature platform owned by Dropbox, competing for SMB and mid-market customers with simpler UX. Overlaps with Syngrafii's Pay As You Sign pricing model and SMB focus.
• SignNow: e-Signature platform (part of airSlate) targeting SMBs and enterprises with usage-based and subscription pricing. Directly comparable on pricing model and vertical focus.
• DocVerify: Electronic signature and identity verification platform with biometric and audit trail capabilities. Comparable product scope to Syngrafii's iinked Sign and MasterFile offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Adobe (Adobe Sign / Acrobat Sign): Bundled e-signature offering within Adobe's document cloud. Listed as a primary competitor by Syngrafii. Adobe Sign competes in the same regulated verticals with deep enterprise reach, but treats video signing and biometrics as non-core features.
• eOriginal (Wolters Kluwer): Digital signature and asset verification platform within Wolters Kluwer's compliance business. Serves banking and lending verticals with comparable compliance-grade signing capabilities.

Emerging players
