I started SealCertify out of spite. Seriously. I grew so tired of the current apostille and authentication princess and decided I couldn't take it anymore. Something's gotta give. So I came up with the solution to the problem that millions of people face around the world every single day.

I have had clients stuck in document limbo for over a year at different consulates and embassies. People have to fly to Washington DC just to get a document authenticated. It is unreasonable in this day and age to have to get on a plane to get something done that you should be able to do from the comfort of your own home.

SealCertify reduces the processing time to just 12 seconds. Yes, seconds. It costs between $6 and $25 per document (depending on the jurisdiction) and you don't even need to leave your house.

You know instantly if your document has any issues that need to be fixed, so you don't waste time.

The ledger and zero knowledge proofs (tamper-proof, transparent, and verifiable records) create trust - because you don't have to just trust me, bro. You can pull up the document and verify that it has remained unchanged. The current paper and a staple system is highly vulnerable to fraud and scams - by simply swapping out pages. Document-related fraud accounts for 12% of international disputes, and causes over $1.2B in annual losses.

It is blockchain based, with a purposeful application of ai - to verify that a document was notarized or sealed correctly. No fluff, no slop. Just an ai that benefits the public in a tangible way.

Now, onto the market. It is a $4.3B market. It is global. It is legally required for documents that need to be used outside of their country of origin. Things like corporate meeting minutes, birth certificates, university diplomas, and more.

How do we make money? I'm glad you asked.

1. SaaS leasing for our services:
2. Recurring Revenue: Number of clients x monthly/annual subscription fee.
3. Transaction Revenue: Number of documents authenticated x per-transaction fee.

Recurring SaaS fees ensure steady cash flow. Transaction fees scale with usage, driving revenue growth. Diverse revenue streams maximize profitability.

Apostilles and authentications get us in the door. By becoming a necessary element of government services, we become embedded in the DNA of the government itself. This provides stability, and largely shields us from market volatility. This also allowed us to begin to expand to other services, such as white label e-notary platforms with government branding so the governments can offer reliable notary services to their constituents at a lower cost. It interfaces directly with the apostilles and authentications, so it's just a few clicks to reliably verify documents.

In sum, SealCertify is the one stop shop for verification of international documents. We are asking $300k to do the necessary security coding to meet and exceed regulation standards, and to provide a runway to achieve the contracts with governments and embassies/consulates. This also covers pilot costs.

This is a solution to a problem that nobody thinks about until they themselves are mired in it, spending countless hours and dollars to get out.
