GoSignMeUp

What GoSignMeUp does

GoSignMeUp, Inc. is a privately held SaaS company founded circa 1996 (operationally headquartered in Charlotte, NC, with its principal place of business in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) that provides online class registration and professional development management software. The platform automates end-to-end registration workflows—including customizable sign-up forms, multi-gateway payment processing (Stripe, Authorize.net, PayPal, LumaPay), automated emails and texting, certificate issuance, surveys/evaluations, and transcript management—across in-person, online, and asynchronous delivery modes. Customers named in the input span K-12, higher education, government, healthcare, first responders, military, real estate, nonprofit, and corporate buyers, with named logos including the Mississippi Department of Education, Eastern New Mexico University, Teach for America, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Legrand, Trilogy Health Services, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The technology foundation is a cloud-based SaaS architecture with extensive LMS interoperability: GoSignMeUp is a Certified Canvas Partner (achieved November 2015) and offers native integrations with Blackboard Learn and Haiku LMS, plus broad SSO support (Shibboleth, Azure AD, Google SAML G-Suite, Ping Identity, CAS). The platform exposes Web Services/API for real-time data exchange and holds regulatory credentials relevant to its verticals, including HIPAA compliance (September 2018), CAGE certification (August 2015) for U.S. government contracting, PCI-aligned payment data handling (no card data stored), and EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certification. A July 2020 partnership with Learning Stream expanded the platform into video delivery, testing, CE tracking, and certificate issuance.

GoSignMeUp monetizes primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions on an unlimited-registrations, flat-fee pricing model with quote-based sales (specific tiers are not publicly disclosed), supplemented by professional services for implementation, training, and customization; non-profit customers receive reduced rates. Distribution is direct via gosignmeup.com with request-a-demo funnels, dedicated inside-sales phone lines (1-800-560-1617; a Canvas-integration line at 1-888-286-4826), and free trials, plus enterprise field sales for large education, government, and corporate accounts. The company is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), employs 11-50 people, and continues to operate as a private, independent business with Greg Smith as Vice President of Business Development.

Emerging players

• Thinkific: Thinkific is a course-creation and selling platform that bundles registration, payments, and certificates for course creators and training companies. It overlaps with GoSignMeUp on registration, payment, and certificate workflows but is positioned for individual creators and SMB course sellers rather than enterprise training organizations.
• Tovuti LMS: Tovuti LMS is an all-in-one learning management system with built-in course registration, payment processing, and certificate generation. It overlaps with GoSignMeUp's combined LMS + registration positioning and represents a competing integrated solution for training organizations.
• Teachable: Teachable provides an online course platform with built-in checkout, registration, and completion certificates. It competes with GoSignMeUp in the training-company segment where creators sell courses online, though Teachable focuses on course content delivery more than enterprise training registration.

Direct peers

• Eventbrite: Eventbrite is a leading event and class registration platform with ticketing, payment processing, and attendee management. While broader in scope (events, classes, workshops), it competes with GoSignMeUp for class/workshop/training sign-ups and offers similar self-service registration and payment features.
• Learning Stream: Learning Stream is a closely comparable registration and LMS-adjacent platform serving training organizations. GoSignMeUp formally partnered with Learning Stream in 2020 to expand into video delivery, testing, CE tracking, and certificate issuance—direct functional overlap in registration and learner management.
• Acelvia (formerly RegOnline): Acelvia is an event and class registration platform used by associations, training providers, and nonprofits for online sign-ups, payments, and reporting. It targets a similar buyer (training organizers, associations) and offers overlapping registration, payment, and reporting capabilities.
• Regpack: Regpack provides online registration, payment processing, and applicant management software for educational institutions, nonprofits, and training organizations. It overlaps directly with GoSignMeUp on course registration, payment workflows, and form-based sign-up flows for schools and training companies.

Broad incumbents

• Absorb Software: Absorb is an enterprise LMS with eCommerce, registration, and certification capabilities serving corporations, healthcare, and education. It overlaps with GoSignMeUp's enterprise training registration and certificate management, though Absorb positions as a broader LMS rather than a registration specialist.
• Active Network (CommunityPass / ACTIVE Works): Active Network provides registration and activity-management software for camps, classes, after-school programs, and community education—directly overlapping with GoSignMeUp's K-12 after-school and enrichment segment. It operates at much larger scale as a general activity-management incumbent.
• Cvent: Cvent is a large event-management and registration platform serving enterprises, associations, and universities. It overlaps with GoSignMeUp for class/workshop/conference registration and payment workflows, but operates as a broader enterprise event-management suite rather than a training-registration specialist.
