Signiant

File Transfer Software

Signiant Has Received Growth Equity Investment From Battery Ventures

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, Signiant is a leading provider of secure file transfer software for the media and entertainment industry. Signiant’s technology allows large media files—from movies and TV shows to sports and news content—to move through the media supply chain quickly and securely, regardless of where the files are stored. The core technology is becoming more critical as media companies increasingly produce rich, effects-laden content for distribution across a range of online streaming platforms, often involving creators and vendors in post-production.

Signiant has leveraged its pivotal role at the core of the media tech stack to expand its file transfer SaaS platform into a broader range of solutions. The Signiant Platform is a comprehensive suite of integrated SaaS products designed to streamline, enhance, and orchestrate the flow of media content. Built on a high-speed file transfer foundation trusted by leading media and entertainment companies worldwide, the Signiant Platform is operating at scale, connecting over 50,000 companies of all sizes and more than 1 million users.

“Pharus was a great partner throughout our entire exit process. Armed with deep domain knowledge of the media vertical, their team worked closely with us to tell the Signiant story in a compelling way. They are also well-versed in the metrics and mechanics of modern SaaS businesses ⎯ they have the specialized quantitative skills required to navigate a successful transaction in today’s business environment. Finally, the entire Pharus team consistently worked hard and paid attention to detail during every step of our journey. They handled the inevitable curveballs with grace and never gave up. Pharus is definitely not a one-size-fits-all advisory shop, and their customized, attentive approach served us extremely well.”
