Certifier, a Warsaw, Poland-based digital credential software startup, secured over $700,000 in seed funding.

Backers included Movens Capital, FundingBox Deep Tech Fund, DEPO Ventures, and Black Pearls VC. As part of the deal, these funds have the option to double their capital commitment in the coming months.

The company plans to invest in product development and build an API-first platform.

Founded by Sergey Butko and Vlad Turak, Certifier offers a SaaS based digital credential infrastructure platform based on APIs for issuing certificates, diplomas, and digital badges. The system helps companies to handle all stages of the certification process, such as creating documents, managing the process, distribution, analysis, and hosting the created documents. Currently, 800 businesses and individuals use it to store their digital certificates and badges. Customers include Avon Canada, University of Illinois, and Oxford School District.

Certifier’s rapidly growing revenues for over 80% come from the UK, US, and Canada.

Since its founding in 2021, the company has been backed by business angels Bartosz Majewski, Marcin Deręgowski, and the Black Pearls VC, which also made a follow-on investment in the current round.
