Based in Seattle, Washington, Clearly is a technology startup that automates security and privacy reviews for artificial intelligence systems and enterprise data platforms. The company provides software designed to streamline complex compliance processes across data lifecycles and machine learning infrastructure, replacing evaluation workflows that traditionally required extensive manual oversight by domain experts. Prior to establishing the firm, the executive team developed foundational security protocols utilized by more than 5,000 machine learning scientists at Amazon. The enterprise currently operates as an early-stage venture backed by Y Combinator, drawing directly on the leadership's prior engineering and artificial intelligence experience at Moveworks, Amazon Alexa, and Project Kuiper. To support ongoing software engineering and commercial deployment efforts, the organization currently maintains a dedicated workforce of 12 employees. Clearly was officially founded in 2024 by Emily Choi-Greene and Joe Choi-Greene.

Clearly Technologies Ltd is a UK-based climate-tech startup founded in 2020 that builds an AI-powered SaaS platform to help fleet managers and businesses in the global transportation industry measure, monitor, and reduce supply chain emissions for net zero compliance.[1][2][3][6] The platform fuses data from multiple sources—like vehicle GPS, fuel, and energy levels—using machine learning to deliver trip-level emission insights, real-time alerts, simulated scenarios, and decarbonization recommendations, serving fleet operators, logistics firms, and financial institutions facing regulatory pressures.[1][2][3][4] It solves the problem of siloed or estimated emission data by providing precise, actionable analytics that drive operational efficiency, identify financing options, and ensure compliance, with early traction including awards like Europe’s hottest Mobility Tech Startup at The Europas 2022 and customers such as major FMCG companies and parcel services.[2][4]
Clearly Technologies Ltd was incorporated on October 16, 2020, in London, initially under the name Together Global Ltd before rebranding (with the change filed around early 2025).[6] Led by CEO Danielle Walsh, a mobility and sustainability expert, the company emerged from the need to address data gaps hindering fleet decarbonization amid rising sustainability mandates in the mobility sector.[1][4] Developed by experts in mobility and sustainability, the idea crystallized around automating emission tracking beyond crude estimates, with early momentum from its selection as Europe’s hottest Mobility Tech Startup at The Europas Awards 2022—joining past winners like Spotify and Wise—and investments from firms like Pace Ventures, who backed its data fusion innovations.[2][3]
(Note: Search results distinguish this Clearly from unrelated entities like Clearly AI in security/privacy[5] or others in fleet visualization[8]; focus here is on the emission management platform.[1][2][3][6])
Clearly rides the wave of mandatory decarbonization in transportation—the largest global emissions source—fueled by EU regulations, net zero pledges, and supply chain transparency laws like CSRD, where precise data is critical for compliance and avoiding penalties.[1][3] Timing aligns with electrification trends, green financing growth, and AI advancements in climate tech, enabling fleets to transition amid infrastructure buildouts and incentives.[3][4] It influences the ecosystem by aggregating rich datasets that enhance industry-wide models, partnering with stakeholders for net zero targets, and setting a standard for mobility sustainability software amid a startup boom in greentech.[2][3]
Clearly is poised to scale as emission regulations tighten globally, with its platform evolving via user data to power end-to-end decarbonization, potentially expanding into predictive analytics for energy stakeholders.[3] Trends like AI-driven climate action, fleet electrification mandates, and sustainable finance will accelerate adoption, positioning it as a key enabler in transport's net zero shift—building on its early awards and funding to capture a slice of the multi-billion mobility greentech market.[1][2] As the only dedicated mobility emission platform, its influence could grow through strategic partnerships, cementing its role from transparency tool to industry standard.[1][3]
