Robert Onley, founder of NotaryPro along with co-founders Charlie and David, asked for $1 million for 6.5% of the Ottawa-based company, Canada's first digital notary solution that connects clients with notaries online or at one of 300 locations, validating ID and e-signatures to notarize documents in under seven minutes. The first stamp costs $38.95 and subsequent stamps $28.95; the company launched in 2020 during the pandemic, has completed over 350,000 appointments and close to 500,000 stamps across 8 provinces, and is tracking $3.5 million in revenue this year, with online notarizations making up about 35% of the market and growing.
Brian Scudamore, Wes Hall, Manjit Minhas and Arlene Dickinson all went out, citing concerns about valuation, capital needs, return potential, and competitive risk from platforms like DocuSign. Michele Romanow offered $1,000,000 for 9%, citing confidence in the team and the legal tech space, and Robert Onley accepted the deal.
