Clearspeed, a company known for its voice-based risk assessment technology, has announced a major boost to its growth plans with a $60m Series D funding round.
The round was led by Align Private Capital and saw participation from IronGate Capital Advisors, Bravo Victor Venture Capital and KBW Ventures. General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Ret.) also joined again as a multi-round investor.
Clearspeed specialises in providing voice analytics technology that helps organisations assess risk quickly and accurately. Its solution is designed for use across both commercial and government sectors, making it a dual-use technology with applications in insurance, national security and fraud prevention.
The fresh injection of capital will support Clearspeed as it accelerates global expansion, invests in new product innovation and strengthens its teams to keep pace with growing demand. The company is particularly focused on scaling its technology in government, defence, insurance and banking markets.
In insurance, Clearspeed’s platform has been shown to deliver a significant return on investment, streamlining claims and underwriting processes to improve outcomes for customers. For instance, Zurich Insurance has adopted Clearspeed’s system to speed up claims payments, helping the firm deliver faster relief to policyholders around the world.
Government agencies have also benefited from Clearspeed’s technology, with some reporting dramatic reductions in vetting times and investigation costs. The firm’s AI-enabled voice analytics are being used for everything from insider threat detection to screening partner forces and combating fraud, waste and abuse.
“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,” Align Private Capital CEO Anna Nekoranec said.
“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,” Zurich Insurance head of claims fraud Scott Clayton said.
“As security threats evolve, so must the solutions designed to counter them,” Private Investor General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Ret.) said. “Clearspeed’s AI-enabled voice analytics delivers outsized value for personnel vetting, insider threat mitigation, and enterprise security—where building trust quickly is paramount.”
“This investment propels Clearspeed into a bold new chapter,” Clearspeed CEO Alex Martin said. “We’re doubling down on the markets where trust and speed matter most—government, defence, 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.”
