Our take
The global electronic signature market is projected to grow to over $35 billion by 2029. Well-known Adobe Sign and DocuSign have been in the game for a while, though YouSign (soon to be Youtrust) has stepped onto the scene hoping to become the eSignature platform predominantly used by the European market.
The company has two signature products, a web app that is ready to use from anywhere and an API, which can be easily integrated into business softwares. The signatures are eIDAS-compliant and legally binding so clients can focus more on their productivity and teamwork and worry less about paperwork.
After years of building reliable trust solutions and moving toward a sovereign European platform, the company is clearly hitting its stride. With its B Corp certification and a dedicated team behind it, Yousign isn't just meeting today's needs but setting the stage for a stronger, more accessible future in digital trust.
