About

CLEAR is a biometric identity company founded in 2003 and relaunched under current leadership in 2010. It operates an identity platform that verifies individuals using facial recognition, iris scanning, and fingerprints, replacing physical IDs and passwords to enable frictionless access across both physical and digital environments. The company serves millions of members across North America.

CLEAR's most established product is its airport security expediting service, available at more than 60 locations across North America, which allows members to move through security checkpoints using biometric verification alone. The platform has since expanded into stadium and live-venue entry, letting members enter without physical tickets, and into digital identity verification - including a partnership with LinkedIn to help users confirm their identity online.

Technically, the company works across several biometric modalities - face, eye, and fingerprint recognition - alongside digital identity verification and physical access control systems. Engineering work spans the identity platform itself, edge hardware at checkpoints and venues, and the integrations that connect CLEAR's verification layer to partner systems and online use cases.

CLEAR describes its core mission as resolving the tension between security and convenience, a framing rooted in the post-9/11 security landscape that shaped the company's original founding. Under CEO Caryn Seidman Becker, who led the 2010 acquisition, the company has evolved from a single-use airport product into a broader identity platform with ambitions across physical and digital environments.

Xaira Therapeutics

In 2023, a group of visionary scientists and investors recognized that drug discovery remained an expensive, time-consuming process with high failure rates. Despite advances in AI, the pharmaceutical industry was still struggling to translate computational insights into viable medicines. This realization sparked the creation of Xaira Therapeutics - co-founded and incubated by ARCH Venture Partners and Foresite Labs - to build an integrated biotechnology company that would truly harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence for drug discovery. Built on the groundbreaking protein design work of Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baker and his team at the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design, Xaira brings together advanced AI research, expansive data generation, and robust therapeutic product development. The company emerged from stealth mode in 2024 with over $1 billion in funding, ready to revolutionize how we treat disease by making predictions about the right biology to target, the best therapeutics to modulate those targets, and the patients who will benefit most. With offices in South San Francisco, Seattle, and London, Xaira is shifting drug discovery from an empirical science to a precise engineering discipline.
