Dedoco is a Singapore-based document process management company that uses blockchain technology to enable verifiable, tamper-evident document signing and management for enterprises. The company was founded in March 2020 by Ernie Teo and Daphne Ng, wrote its first lines of code in June 2020, and officially launched its platform in July 2021.

As of late 2021, Dedoco was generating approximately $360,000 in annualized revenue, driven by a mix of credit-based brand customers and annual enterprise subscriptions averaging $100,000 each. The company had roughly 40 paying brand customers and 1,000 registered users on its SaaS platform, with early traction among Singapore government agencies, financial institutions, and property agencies.

Dedoco closed a $2 million seed round in July 2021, concurrent with its platform launch, to accelerate hiring and marketing. The 30-person team is heavily engineering-focused, with approximately 20 engineers on staff. Daphne Ng serves as CEO and Ernie Teo as co-founder and CTO.

The company had approximately 40 paying brand customers using a credit model at a standard price of $5 per transaction. Larger brand customers used an average of about 100 credits per month, implying roughly $500 per month per larger customer, while smaller businesses averaged closer to 10 credits per month. In addition, Dedoco had two to three large enterprise clients on annual subscriptions averaging $100,000 each, contributing approximately $200,000 to $300,000 in annual contract value. The platform launched in July 2021, meaning this revenue base was built within roughly five months of commercial availability.

Profitability was not discussed in the interview. A forward revenue estimate is not produced here because no growth rate between two annual periods was stated; the company had only months of post-launch operating history at the time of the interview.

CEO

Ernie Teo is the co-founder and CTO of Dedoco. He holds a PhD in economics and game theory, has taught at universities, and previously worked at IBM Blockchain Research. At the time of the interview in November 2021, Teo was 42 years old. He described the company's vision as making Dedoco the API layer for all verifiable document processes, drawing inspiration from Stripe's developer-first infrastructure model.

Daphne Ng is the co-founder and CEO of Dedoco. The interview was conducted with Teo; details about Ng's background were not discussed beyond her role as co-founder. Net worth for either founder was not discussed in the interview and no estimate is produced here, as no ownership percentages or valuation figures were stated.

Customers

Dedoco had approximately 40 paying brand customers and 1,000 registered users on its SaaS platform as of late 2021. Customer segments included Singapore government agencies, financial institutions, and property agencies. One financial institution customer alone had approximately 300 registered users within the organization.

Pricing operates on two models. Individual users pay $30 per month for a basic license covering document signing and blockchain-based document management. Brand and SME customers purchase credits at a standard price of $5 per transaction, with larger brands consuming roughly 100 credits per month and smaller businesses averaging around 10. Enterprise clients are offered annual subscriptions averaging $100,000, with two to three such clients on this model at the time of the interview. The platform also had approximately 1,000 free registered users on the SaaS tier.

Dedoco serves 40 customers.

Dedoco Business Model

Dedoco operates a multi-tier SaaS model. Individual users pay $30 per month for platform access. Brand and SME customers buy transaction credits at $5 each, with usage varying from roughly 10 credits per month for smaller businesses to approximately 100 per month for larger brands. Large enterprise clients pay annual subscriptions averaging $100,000, providing a more predictable revenue base.

The company's core value proposition is a decentralized document architecture: Dedoco stores document hashes on blockchain rather than the documents themselves, allowing customers to use their own document repositories. This means no third party hosts customer documents, and any holder of a signed document can verify its authenticity independently via a blockchain-linked verifier. Gross margin, churn, LTV, CAC, burn rate, and runway were not discussed in the interview.
