About

Clearspeed provides an AI and voice-based risk assessment platform that analyzes the signal in the human voice to deliver real-time risk indicators for trust decisions across government, defense, insurance, banking, and sports integrity sectors. The platform works through a short set of yes-or-no questions answered by phone or web, available in any language, providing every person with the same fair experience. When someone answers a question where something is at stake, the brain reacts, producing specific, measurable changes in the voice that exist outside any database and cannot be coached, profiled, or faked, based on decades of neuroscience research. Clearspeed returns an indicator of potential risk in seconds, classifying responses as minimal risk or elevated risk, delivered directly into the Clearspeed app or existing systems. The platform clears the trustworthy majority fast so teams can focus attention where it counts, addressing the confidence gap rather than the data gap. Clearspeed serves government agencies for personnel vetting and benefits program integrity, military and defense with DoD-validated deployment at U.S. Special Operations Command achieving 95% reduction in vetting cycle time, insurance for fraud screening across the policy lifecycle with 200% uplift in fraud findings at Allianz and 31x ROI at Seguros El Roble, banking and financial services for loan processing, AML, KYC, and account takeover prevention, and sports integrity for screening athletes, officials, and staff for substance use, illegal betting, and match-fixing. The platform addresses risk types including fraud and financial crime, catastrophic event triage, hiring and screening, insider threat, substance screening, and global public events. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Clearspeed has raised approximately $110 million in Series D funding from investors including King Philanthropies, Align Private Capital, IronGate Capital Advisors, KBW Ventures, Bravo Victor Venture Capital, and Mobeus Equity Partners.
