The company continues to draw attention from investors as well.

Last month, CLARA announced yet another infusion of capital from Nationwide Ventures, which invests in companies that are shaping the future of insurance and financial services. To date, CLARA has raised a total of $64 million.
CLARA’s growth is fueled by its track record of delivering strong ROI for its customers, along with its reputation for industry-leading innovation and customer service. CLARA has been recognized by Gartner® as a Sample Vendor in its Hype Cycle™ for Digital Life and P&C Insurance, 2023.1
The CLARAty.ai platform and CLARA Optics with extended generative AI capabilities are among the company’s most notable new innovations.
CLARAty.ai offers a unified approach to claims management that eliminates silos and adds a rich intelligence layer to support claims professionals in workers’ compensation, auto liability, and general liability.
CLARA Optics adds generative AI capabilities for both medical records and legal demands. It automates document transcription, extracts and organizes important details about each case, and highlights relevant information for claims management personnel. Optics constantly scans for new information, offering intelligent alerts whenever new case material becomes available. That empowers adjusters, nurse case managers (NCMs) and legal teams to respond promptly and proactively as each case evolves.
