Leadership Comments

“Retail fraud has become a professional industry, run at scale against the returns counter and the receiving dock, and most defenses were built for a shoplifting era,” said Ruben, Clarity’s co-founder and CEO. “We built Clarity to catch it the moment it enters the building.”

Jeff Miller, founder and managing partner of LMnT Ventures, said the founders’ retail experience and the company’s combination of imaging hardware and AI were factors behind the investment.
