AI-powered deal intelligence platform Claira has raised $7 million in seed funding, with Barclays and Citi co-leading the investment round. The funding marks a significant milestone in Claira’s mission to transform how financial institutions handle deal workflows, replacing outdated manual processes with smart automation.
Claira uses artificial intelligence to streamline due diligence, reduce time-intensive manual reviews, and provide immediate access to institutional deal knowledge. This advancement is particularly valuable in capital markets, where time and accuracy are critical.
“Firms are sitting on a trove of proprietary research that they are not leveraging,” said Eric Chang, CEO of Claira. “Claira is the first platform to both streamline the work and systematically capture and apply institutional investment knowledge to future transactions.”
By embedding AI into the core of deal execution, Claira accelerates transaction workflows while preserving historical data for predictive insights. The company’s approach eliminates friction points and supports better investment decisions.
The new capital will be used to scale engineering teams, expand the go-to-market strategy, and deepen integrations with top-tier financial institutions. According to Chang, a large portion of the funds will go toward refining Claira’s AI models to handle complex nuances in deal-making and capital markets.
This funding also positions Claira to further partner with global banks and asset managers looking for smarter ways to manage high-stakes deals with confidence and precision.
With the investment from Barclays and Citi, two of the most influential players in the global finance ecosystem, Claira is expected to play a vital role in the evolving landscape of AI-powered financial services.
As deal volumes grow and data complexity increases, platforms like Claira are becoming essential to modern capital markets. With its innovative offering and fresh backing, Claira is ready to scale and lead the charge in intelligent deal execution.
