Axiocap

What Axiocap does

Axiocap is a French SaaS platform for legal operations and corporate governance, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Montpellier. The platform consolidates corporate minute books, share registers, cap tables, virtual board and shareholder meetings, electronic signatures, and certified digital archiving into a single system with private blockchain timestamping for evidentiary integrity. Core products include the Digital Minute Book, Digital Share Register, Virtual Meetings & Board Portal, AGOA (AI-powered annual accounts approval launched in 2024), an ISO 27001 / NF Z42-020 Digital Safe, an eIDAS-compliant advanced electronic signature, and Cyrius — an AI legal assistant built on Mistral AI that automates document analysis, share movement extraction, and natural-language legal queries. Axiocap reports 300,000+ company relationships, 30,000 active users, 280,000 stockholders managed, 4,000+ assemblies conducted, and 100,000+ dematerialized registers created.

The platform serves chartered accountants, lawyers, formalists, in-house legal departments, executives, and associations across France and broader EU markets, with a customer roster that spans Société Générale, BNP, Crédit Agricole, Engie, EDF, Bouygues, BMW, Saint-Gobain, Vinci, Nestlé France, Leroy Merlin, AG2R La Mondiale, JCDecaux, BPI France, Amundi, and international firms including White & Case, EY, Grant Thornton, and BDO. Revenue is generated through subscription licensing (per company/per license, annual billing), transactional fees for annual accounts filing (78 EUR/business), and professional services for paper-to-digital migration and reliable digital copy certification. Distribution combines a self-serve PLG signup with a sales-assisted enterprise motion and a channel program in which chartered accountants, law firms, and formalists sublicense Axiocap to their client portfolios.

The technology stack is differentiated by deep French and EU regulatory compliance (eIDAS Article 26, NF Z42-020/026/013, ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 25051, GDPR hosting on OVH Cloud) and by an API integration ecosystem spanning 15+ partners including Pennylane, MyUniSoft, DiliTrust, Juriactes, DocuSign, SharePoint, Fulll, ImpalAct, and AJI/Lefebvre Dalloz. No funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed; the company is privately held and founded by Nicolas Surleau (COO & Co-founder) and Simon de Charentenay (Co-founder).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• DiliTrust: French-headquartered SaaS for board portals, entity management, cap tables, and legal governance. DiliTrust is the closest direct competitor, overlapping heavily with Axiocap's minute book, share register, and virtual meeting products; the two are also integration partners, signaling direct category rivalry.

Broad incumbents

• Diligent: Global leader in board and entity governance software (formerly Diligent Boardbooks). Offers board portals, entity management, and compliance modules for large enterprises and public companies — a broader incumbent operating in Axiocap's category with greater scale and US/UK footprint.
• Wolters Kluwer: Global information services and compliance software group (Teammate, OneSumX, CCH). Operates in audit, compliance, and entity governance broadly; competes for the same legal/compliance budget at large enterprises as Axiocap.
• Shareworks (Morgan Stanley at Work): Equity plan management and cap table platform owned by Morgan Stanley. Targets larger enterprises and public companies for share scheme administration — an incumbent at the upper end of Axiocap's enterprise segment.

Emerging players

• Captain Contrat: French online legal services platform for SMBs covering company formation, contracts, and corporate formalities. Targets the same French SMB executive buyer as Axiocap but focuses on formation and legal docs rather than ongoing governance — partial overlap, same market.
• LegalPlace: French digital legal platform providing automated document generation and legal guidance for individuals and SMBs. Adjacent competitor for company secretaries and executives seeking self-serve legal tooling in the French market.
• Carta: US-headquartered cap table and equity management platform serving private companies and investors. Overlaps with Axiocap's Digital Share Register and cap table functionality but operates primarily in the US market and venture-backed ecosystem.
• Ledgys (ex-Ledger SA corporate governance): French corporate governance and cap table SaaS spun out from the Ledger ecosystem, focused on French private companies and startups. Competes head-to-head with Axiocap on share register and minute book workflows in the French SMB/startup segment.

Others

• DocuSign: Global incumbent in e-signature and intelligent agreement management. Already an Axiocap integration partner, but DocuSign's broader CLM and agreement cloud could subsume minute book and resolution workflows if it deepens governance features.

Regional players

• Pennylane: French accounting and financial management SaaS for SMBs and accounting firms. An existing Axiocap integration partner, Pennylane could expand its own corporate governance surface to compete directly — a watch-listed competitor in the French accountant channel.
