PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Startups

Cynix, led by founder Jay Jumper, is a cloud-based digital signature company that embeds digital certificates directly in documents rather than using a signature overlay, so customers don't depend on the vendor to validate signatures. It grew from a two-customer company acquired in 2002 to roughly 700,000 seats, with about 80% of business coming through white-label software partners. The company has raised over $10 million and has a team of about 50.
