Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — September 29, 2025: Impact46 has announced a $1 million investment in Sadq, a Saudi-based platform specializing in digital signatures, identity verification, and digital workflow automation, as part of an extended pre-Series A funding round.
This strategic investment aims to accelerate the development of Sadq’s core products, enhance security and regulatory compliance, and expand the company’s commercial footprint both within Saudi Arabia and across global markets. The partnership will also open the door for synergistic integrations with Impact46’s portfolio companies operating in digital infrastructure and enterprise software solutions, creating powerful opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Highlighting Impact46’s confidence in the company and its leadership team, Basmah AlSanidi from Impact46 commented:
“Our belief in Sadq stems from our belief in the founders — a deep understanding of the problem, disciplined execution, and a clear focus on customer value. We see the company laying a fundamental building block of the Kingdom’s digital infrastructure by providing reliable e-signature and identity verification solutions with high standards of security and compliance. Our investment reflects a long-term conviction in the team’s ability to scale and create real institutional impact.”
From Sadq’s perspective, this funding represents a significant milestone in the company’s mission to redefine digital trust in the region. Abdullah Allahuo, Founder and CEO of Sadq, stated:
“From day one, we believed that Saudi Arabia deserves a robust digital trust infrastructure — not as an optional feature, but as a sovereign necessity.
Building Sadq was never about seizing a passing opportunity; it was about solving a real market challenge. We faced regulatory questions, technical hurdles, and user behaviors that were not yet mature enough to embrace local solutions. Yet, we remained committed to our vision: developing a Saudi-built digital signature product, rooted in local regulations and meeting global standards of security, compliance, and user experience.
Impact46’s involvement at this pivotal stage is a testament to the market’s readiness for national digital solutions — and to the fact that betting on local founders is no longer a gamble, but a logical path to creating real market value.
At Sadq, we will continue to work with full determination, relying on God Almighty and the support of our partners, to become the cornerstone of the digital transformation journey and pioneers of digital trust within the Kingdom and beyond.”
Adding to this, Salem Albadawi, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Sadq, emphasized that the investment marks a turning point in the company’s technological roadmap, empowering Sadq to scale its innovation efforts and reshape the future of digital trust in the region. Through highly reliable, secure, and locally tailored solutions that also compete on a global level, Sadq aims to position itself as a leader in digital trust infrastructure for governments, businesses, and institutions alike.
This investment is more than just capital injection — it reflects Impact46’s deep conviction in the vision and capabilities of Saudi founders who are building the foundational layers of the Kingdom’s digital future. With Sadq now part of Impact46’s growing portfolio of pioneering enterprise technology companies, the partnership is set to accelerate the evolution of digital trust solutions and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a hub for secure, compliant, and cutting-edge digital infrastructure in the region.
