Clearview AI, a facial recognition company, has raised $30 million in a Series B funding round that now values the company at $130 million.
“Law enforcement agencies continue to evolve and adopt new technology by necessity, and Clearview’s revolutionary image search and identification capabilities have proven to be a game-changer in bringing unidentified criminals to justice,” said Hoan Ton-That, Co-Founder and CEO of Clearview AI.
Clearview’s image-search technology enables law enforcement to identify criminal suspects, as well as the victims upon whom they prey, by matching within seconds a single, unidentified photograph with publicly available, open-sourced images from the Internet.
In December 2019, Clearview secured $7 million in Series A funding from investment trusts, funds and individual investors. Prior investors include Peter Thiel and Naval Ravikant.
Earlier this year, Clearview was named to TIME’s inaugural list of The 100 Most Influential Companies.
