Clearspeed, a global leader in voice-based risk assessment technology, has announced a $60m Series D funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $110m.
The round was led by Align Private Capital with support from IronGate Capital Advisors, Bravo Victor Venture Capital, and KBW Ventures.
General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Ret.) continues as a multi-round investor. Following the funding, Anna Nekoranec, co-founder and CEO of Align Private Capital, will join Clearspeed’s Board of Directors.
Clearspeed specialises in AI-enabled voice analytics designed to reduce fraud and accelerate decision-making in insurance underwriting and claims processing. The company’s technology improves risk assessment accuracy and enables insurers to offer faster payouts and more seamless customer experiences.
The new funding will be used to deepen Clearspeed’s presence in the insurance sector alongside government and defence markets. The company aims to invest in product innovation and scale operations globally to meet the growing need for rapid, trustworthy screening solutions.
Clearspeed’s technology delivers substantial value in insurance, consistently producing over a 30X return on investment. It has cut claims handling times by half and increased immediate payments to customers by 40%. Zurich Insurance, which serves over 75 million customers worldwide, has integrated Clearspeed to speed claims payments and provide quicker relief to customers.
Anna Nekoranec said, “Clearspeed has demonstrated true dual-use potential—with scalable commercial results and meaningful impact in high-stakes environments. It’s rare to see a solution that can reduce fraud, mitigate security threats, and save significant costs without creating friction for the end user. This is the innovation needed to build smarter, more human-centered systems of trust.”
Scott Clayton, head of claims fraud at Zurich Insurance, commented, “We see Clearspeed as a powerful complement to an insurer’s multi-layered global risk strategy—offering a streamlined, trust-building experience for customers while helping to make more confident decisions and combat increasingly complex fraud.”
Government clients also benefit from Clearspeed’s solutions, which support national security priorities and reduce vetting times by 95% and investigation costs by 65%.
General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Ret.) said, “As security threats evolve, so must the solutions designed to counter them. Clearspeed’s AI-enabled voice analytics delivers outsized value for personnel vetting, insider threat mitigation, and enterprise security—where building trust quickly is paramount.”
Alex Martin, co-founder and CEO of Clearspeed, said, “This investment propels Clearspeed into a bold new chapter. We’re doubling down on the markets where trust and speed matter most—government, defense, insurance, banking—and expanding globally to meet the growing demand for secure, high-integrity screening. We’re investing in our teams, accelerating innovation, and ensuring our technology stays ahead—not just to grow, but to help organisations worldwide realise the strategic advantage of rapidly establishing trust.”
Prior to this round, Clearspeed raised $50m, making the company’s total funding $110m.
