Certificall Raises €1 Million Seed to Expand Trusted Visual Evidence Solutions in Europe
- ByStartupStory | October 22, 2025
Trusttech startup Certificall has successfully closed a €1 million seed funding round led by TomCat, Groupama, and InsurAngels. Founded in 2022 by insurtech veterans Guillaume Laurent and Nicolas Chabauty, Certificall offers fast, reliable, and certified visual evidence services designed to combat rising insurance fraud and strengthen compliance across industries.
Tackling Rising Insurance Fraud with Trusted Technology
Insurance fraud accounts for roughly 5% of property and casualty (P&C) premiums in France, with identified losses rising from €695 million in 2023 to an estimated €902 million in 2024, driven largely by sophisticated AI-enabled forgery techniques. Certificall addresses this challenge using a robust technological framework ensuring the authenticity and legal validity of visual evidence from capture to processing.
The company’s solution certifies photos in approximately 90 seconds on average, having secured the probative value of over 3 million images to date. This architecture is based on four integrated components: geolocation, tamper-proof certification, qualified timestamping, and compliance with the eIDAS electronic signature regulation — a core trust standard across the European Union.
Enabling Legal Confidence Across the EU
With the European Union aiming for 80% adoption of digital identity wallets by 2030, Certificall positions itself as a trusted third-party provider fully compliant with eIDAS standards. This compliance assures that every certified digital proof generated by Certificall enjoys legal validity and acceptance across all EU member states.
“Generative AI is becoming increasingly accessible and sophisticated, fuelling new avenues for fraud. Our mission is clear — to block fraud at the source and provide companies with reliable, legally binding evidence,” said Guillaume Laurent, president and co-founder of Certificall.
Growth and Outlook
The fresh capital injection will empower Certificall to accelerate product development and expand its commercial footprint throughout Europe, particularly in insurance, brokerage, and large industrial client segments that require trusted, tamper-proof documentation solutions.
As digital transformation and regulatory demands intensify, Certificall’s solution exemplifies how cutting-edge trust technologies can effectively curb fraud, enhance compliance, and safeguard enterprise integrity in an increasingly AI-driven world.
