Yousign is a Caen- and Paris-headquartered French digital-trust platform founded in 2013 and rebranding in 2026 to Youtrust as part of a broader expansion into eIDAS 2.0 workflows. The company is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) on the European Commission's Trust List for France: fully eIDAS-qualified across the three signature levels (Simple Electronic Signature, Advanced Electronic Signature, Qualified Electronic Signature) and supervised under the French ANSSI regulatory framework with the "Trusted Third Party" designation. The product is enriched by identity verification, document verification, electronic seals, and all-in-one compliance workflows for KYC / KYB / AML / CFT, targeting finance, real estate, insurance, healthcare, and B2B verticals.
Operating scale: 30,000+ corporate customers, 50M+ documents processed annually, €40M+ ARR, profitable since end of 2025, presence in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, UK, and B Corp certified (the certification for companies that meet high standards of social + environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability). The B Corp posture is unusual in the EU digital-trust segment and is itself a positive procurement signal for buyers who weight ESG alongside sovereignty.
Cap-table caveat: in June 2021, Yousign raised a US$36.6M (€30M) Series A led by Lead Edge Capital (a New York-based growth-equity firm) alongside French eFounders (Hexa) as returning investor. The current ownership mix after subsequent dilution and Yousign's path to profitability has not been publicly disclosed at audit time; the listing sits at eu_hq_us_funded (EU-headquartered but with a documented US-VC lead investor on record) with the ANSSI-QTSP regulatory anchor + profitability + B Corp as positive signals that partially offset the unconfirmed ownership picture. Best fit: French and EU regulated industries (banks, insurers, real-estate, healthcare) that need QES under ANSSI-supervised eIDAS infrastructure with API integration and complete identity-verification workflows. Direct competitors in this category: Signaturit / Namirial Group (Spanish-Italian, but US-private-equity-owned since Bain Capital's 2025 acquisition and hosted at rest on AWS, so cloud_act_exposure: material), Skribble (Swiss + dual ZertES/eIDAS, no CLOUD Act exposure).
