FasterCapital adds 3EP to EquityPilot to address long-term digital document integrity
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada & Dubai, UAE — Mar 16, 2026
FasterCapital is supporting 3E Solutions Department (DESVY) — 3EP through the EquityPilot program to help the team develop and scale a document trust infrastructure designed to enable self-contained, offline-verifiable certification of digital files. The engagement pairs FasterCapital’s execution-focused support with 3EP’s open specification and reference tooling for certified document containers.
FasterCapital’s EquityPilot engagement will concentrate on execution milestones over the first 30–60 days, with activities to refine product integration, strengthen developer tooling, and prepare governance and certification processes for early adopters.
Why It Matters?
Digital documents underpin government, legal, financial, and healthcare workflows, yet many formats lack durable, self-contained proof of authenticity. 3EP aims to address this gap by providing an open container format and a separate certification authority layer that together are designed to enable offline verification of document integrity and provenance for long-term archives and mission-critical workflows.
What the Startup Delivers?
3EP defines a ZIP-based container structure that pairs a visual PDF with a structured semantic JSON layer and an integrity layer based on deterministic SHA-256 hashing. A separately governed 3ECertified™ authority issues Ed25519 signing chains and embeds ledger proofs in documents so verification can be performed without external server calls. The project includes an open-source 3EP Viewer and SDK to facilitate integration.
Why Now?
Timing Regulatory attention on records retention, coupled with the operational risks of server-dependent signature validation, is creating urgency for solutions that can guarantee file immutability and offline verifiability. 3EP’s separation of an open Core from a governed certification layer is designed to make adoption feasible for organizations seeking long-term custody assurances.
What FasterCapital Will Provide?
• Hands-on execution support to refine near-term milestones and product integration
• Assistance strengthening the open-source viewer and SDK for enterprise adoption
• Guidance on certification governance, audit readiness, and developer documentation
• Connections to ecosystem stakeholders, potential integrators, and compliance advisors
First 30–60 Days
Program Plan In the initial phase, FasterCapital and 3EP will focus on stabilizing the reference viewer and SDK, documenting canonical serialization and lifecycle rules, and formalizing the Compliance & Certification Board (CCB) processes that will underwrite 3ECertified™ operations. Activities will include code reviews, security assessments, and developer portal preparation.
