Some companies whisper their way into relevance. Others walk in like they’ve been running the room for years. Clearspeed Corp.? They don’t just walk in, they scan the room in under 90 seconds and tell you exactly who’s full of it.
On June 26, 2025, Clearspeed dropped a $60M Series D announcement that did more than just thump the capital table; it cemented their place as the real-deal voice of truth in a world full of noise. With Alex Martin, former U.S. Marine, UC Berkeley MBA, and co-founder, leading the charge, the company has transformed voice analytics from spy-novel sci-fi into enterprise-grade infrastructure. This round, led by Align Private Capital’s Anna Nekoranec, who now joins the board, wasn’t just a show of support; it was a vote of confidence that this tech doesn’t just scale, it leads.
This isn’t another AI hype train chasing headlines. The team built tech that listens to how you speak, not what you say. It parses tone, cadence, stress, hesitation, across 60+ languages and 37 countries. No semantics, no metadata, no cultural bias. Just objective, real-time risk signals you can’t fake, fudge, or finesse. When the U.S. Department of Defense validates your system at over 97% accuracy, you’re not chasing validation; you’re setting the standard.
The team isn’t small-potatoes either. Don Blersch, SVP of Government Innovation, brings firepower from NASA, the CIA, and State Department security. Kapil Chopra, SVP of Software Engineering, is the architect making sure the stack stays nimble, scalable, and absolutely bulletproof. And Ashly Arroyo, Chief of Staff, is the organizational glue every high-velocity team prays for.
Let’s talk clients. Zurich Insurance? Onboard. SOCOM? Checked. Allianz, Uganda Wildlife Authority, Rhino Fund Uganda, and a gang of tier-one insurers and agencies? All-in. When nine of the ten biggest insurance players in the UK are using your voice tech to reduce claims times by 50%, spike instant payouts by 40%, and drop investigation costs by 65%, you’re not a vendor; you’re critical infrastructure.
And when General David Petraeus puts skin in the game as a multi-round investor, it’s more than just a cap table boost. It’s a signal to the markets: this tech isn’t just tactical; it’s strategic.
Clearspeed isn’t here to catch liars. They’re here to find risk before it finds you. And in today’s world, where fraud moves faster than facts, that’s the kind of speed that matters.
$110M raised to date. A market that needs trust at scale. And leadership with the chops to execute.
If you’re in insurance, defense, finance, or national security and you’re not listening, Clearspeed already is.
