Our take
Waiting in a security line is something everybody could do without before a long flight – and this unpleasant scenario is what CLEAR allows its millions of members to avoid. The company creates a single touchless ID based on a user’s biometrics, such as their eyes and face, enabling quick identity verification and frictionless travel.
CLEAR continues to develop its product, and is now moving beyond airports into office buildings, restaurants, and stadiums. The technology has already been used by several sports and entertainment partners, including multiple NBA teams and in the Super Bowl.
The company went public on the NYSE in June 2021 following a strategic funding round of $100M, which is being invested into accelerating the company's growth whilst expanding its offerings. Its technology is now being used for age verification, virtual queuing, and checking in.
