We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected as a Top 10 Finalist for the RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox Contest. Alongside this honor, we are sharing that we’ve raised a total of $8.4 million in Seed funding to accelerate our mission of automating the most painful bottleneck in the enterprise: security and privacy reviews.
We are excited to work with our investors, including Basis Set Ventures, Crosspoint Capital Partners, Argon Ventures, Ritual Capital, and Y Combinator. We are also backed by an incredible group of advisors, including the former CISOs of Amplitude and OKX, the former CEO of Reddit, and the former CPO of Brex.
Security teams are currently overwhelmed. Every new feature, third-party vendor, and AI deployment requires a rigorous evaluation for security, privacy, and compliance risk.
But while engineering teams have adopted AI-assisted development to ship faster than ever, the security process has remained stubbornly manual. It involves reassembling context from scattered documents, chasing developers for answers, and manually pasting results into spreadsheets.
Teams are left with a false choice:
1. Triage and Skip: Move fast and accept unknown risks.
2. Block and Review: Delay feature launches for weeks to ensure safety.
Joe and I spent years leading hundreds of these reviews at Amazon and Moveworks for Alexa AI, Project Kuiper, and enterprise AI systems. We started Clearly AI to fix the painful process we kept suffering through. (Why we started Clearly AI)
Clearly AI is live with Fortune 500s and global brands like Ericsson and Rivian, where we've successfully cut security review time by 90%. We've reviewed thousands of security-critical products, from badge scanners to stablecoin platforms to autonomous driving features. Companies like HID Global, Affirm, Webflow, and Okta trust Clearly AI to keep pace with their engineering velocity without compromising review quality.
