Our story

Clearspeed was founded in 2016 to disrupt the vetting industry.

Today we’re redefining risk assessment across industries and across the globe with our voice-based risk identification technology, developed to build trust at scale.

Learn more about our vision to enable Trust, Faster.

Using voice technology to identify risk, build trust, and clear people at scale.

Despite our interconnectedness in this increasingly complex and fast-paced world, a pervasive lack of foundational trust between individuals and organizations divides us. To regain confidence in processes and people and to stem the fraud, waste, abuse, and insider threat challenges we face, global organizations and governments require rapid, accurate, and scalable vetting mechanisms.

Our Vision

Help build a better world through trust enablement.

With each passing day corporations, militaries, and government agencies face the challenges of vetting people quickly, accurately, and at scale to reduce fraud, identify insider threats and increase security and safety. Risk assessments are the vital inputs. But trust is the desired outcome. We bridge the gap from an assessment of risk to a decision to trust.

Trust is a battle space. It always has been, but now more so than ever in these modern, hybrid conflicts that we see. The ability to rapidly assess who can be trusted is a strategic advantage. Use us to get a data point to buy down risk, to do your job, to maintain the edge, to maintain the offensive, to deploy your resources more appropriately, people and technology, and to win.

Streamlining risk identification for a trust advantage

The problem we set out to solve was (and still is) a massive one: to reliably screen large volumes of people at scale, in any language, without bias. Solving this problem required a huge paradigm shift.

Clearspeed has disrupted risk assessment by shifting the focus from treating all cases as high risk to rapidly clearing low-risk cases first. This is made possible through Clearspeed’s cutting-edge technology that enables fast, accurate risk assessment at scale.

In other words, Clearspeed wasn’t designed to “find the needle in a haystack,” it was designed to clear the hay. This "clear fast” model allows businesses and government organizations to remove bottle necks and, importantly, to build trust with individuals faster.

Proven technology for advanced risk assessment

With a business model and investor base born out of Stanford Business School, and corporate DNA committed to the service of others, Clearspeed’s voice-based risk assessment technology has been through numerous successful scientific and technical field evaluations and is deployed by leading enterprises, governments, and militaries to help manage risk assessment challenges that legacy systems and approaches are unable to solve.

Clearspeed is fast becoming the global standard for risk assessment, wherever achieving trust at scale is essential.
