Saudi startup Signit has raised $15 million in a Series A round to build out an AI-powered contract management platform aimed at government and enterprise clients in the Kingdom. The round was led by Raed Ventures, with participation from STV, Seedra Ventures, Takamol Ventures, and Suhail Ventures.
The Riyadh-based company was founded in 2021 by Mohamed El Abbouri, who serves as co-founder and chief executive. Signit is licensed as a Trust Service Provider by the Saudi Digital Government Authority, giving its digital signatures legal weight under local regulation.
From E-Signature to Full Contract Lifecycle
Signit built its first business around legally binding digital signatures. The company reported it has signed more than 700 customers across government, financial services, healthcare, and enterprise. That base is now the launchpad for a bigger product bet.
With the new capital, Signit plans to move into contract lifecycle management, the category usually referred to as CLM. That means drafting, negotiation, tracking, and compliance workflows will sit alongside the signature layer inside one platform. The company said it will add AI features across each of those stages.
Why Contract Software Is Heating Up in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's push toward digital government under Vision 2030 has created demand for tools that replace paper workflows at scale. Digital signatures have gained traction inside public sector entities, but the contract process around the signature still sits across email threads, Word documents, and PDF attachments.
El Abbouri has said most of the time and cost in a contract sits before and after the signature itself. By bundling drafting and negotiation tools with its existing signature infrastructure, Signit is positioning against global incumbents such as DocuSign and Ironclad while building local compliance into the product.
The Investor Lineup
Raed Ventures is one of the most active early-stage funds in the Kingdom, with a portfolio that spans fintech, logistics, and enterprise software. STV is the largest tech-focused fund in the region by assets under management. Seedra Ventures, Takamol Ventures, and Suhail Ventures round out the syndicate, all of them based in or focused on Saudi Arabia.
The round adds to a string of Series A deals in Saudi enterprise software over the past year, as investors target companies selling into government digitalization budgets and large private sector rollouts.
What Signit Is Spending On
The company said the funding will go toward expanding its AI-powered drafting, negotiation, and compliance features, building an internal contract assistant that pulls contract data into one interface, and strengthening the certificate infrastructure that underpins its digital signatures. Hiring across engineering and product is expected to follow.
