Clearly lands $4.3M for data-driven emissions tracking
Description:
Founded in 2021, Clearly is a platform that uses anonymized data from logistics operators and fleet owners to provide emission-related insights and driver behavior nudges. The company aims to help operators save money and meet emission regulations by tracking over 100 million trips and showing that up to 30% of fuel consumption is influenced by driving behavior. Clearly has attracted blue-chip clients like Webfleet and received $4.3 million in funding led by Pace Ventures and Nine Realms, with investors impressed by the demand for data-driven procurement and AI-enabled operational decision-making in the transportation sector. While facing competition from large telematics providers, Clearly believes it has an advantage in creating practical platforms for fleet operators that go beyond basic vehicle tracking. Founder and CEO Danielle Walsh states that capturing even 1% of the market could generate a billion dollars in revenue.
