Trusted Timestamping Seed Round Pitch Deck Template

Why Now Is This Service Critical?

The volume of digital assets requiring legal admissible timestamping solutions for contracts is exploding, driven by remote work and IP disputes. Traditional notarization is slow and expensive; the market urgently needs an affordable, verifiable proof of existence service built on immutable record keeping.

Regulatory Pressure and Digital Risk

• Legal systems demand immutable digital evidence.
• Fraud risk drives need for secure timestamping.
• Blockchain technology makes verification affordable.

What We Do And How We Win

We provide a secure timestamping service that anchors cryptographic hashes of digital documents onto a public blockchain, offering a legally admissible, tamper-proof digital proof of existence. We win by offering superior legal compliance and seamless API for integrating timestamp verification into workflow, especially for high-volume enterprise clients.

Financial Model Strength

Here's the quick math: Our cost structure is lean. In 2026, COGS (Blockchain Gas and Cloud) is 13.0% of revenue, and variable expenses (Payment Processing and Support) are 7.0%. This 20% variable cost structure gives us strong contribution margins. With $11,500 in monthly fixed costs (Legal Retainer, Security Audits), we hit profitability fast.

• Strong 80% gross margin profile (100% - 20% variable costs).
• Low Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) of $45 initially.
• Focus on high-value Enterprise Legal Plan revenue.

Who Buys And How Big Is The Opportunity

Our primary segments are Law Firms, SMBs handling critical contracts, and Independent Creators needing affordable digital asset protection. The opportunity is massive, spanning intellectual property, legal evidence, and compliance needs across regulated industries. We are targeting high-volume users, specifically the Enterprise Legal Plan, which includes a $500 setup fee and transaction fees of $0.10 per transaction in 2026.

Scaling the Customer Base

We project acquiring 2,667 new customers in 2026, driven by the $120,000 marketing budget and a $45 CAC. What this estimate hides is the conversion efficiency: we expect 8.0% of new signups to start a free trial, converting 12.0% of those to paid subscribers. We must keep CAC low and trial-to-paid conversion high to maintain the projected 7.93% Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

• Focus on Law Firms requiring document integrity solution.
• Shift sales mix toward Enterprise (10% to 20% by
