Vendor Zoom: Claira – Private Markets Deal Intelligence

This short article in our Distinctive Insights Intelligence Vault series was prepared as part of our ongoing coverage of innovation in investment management.

Our aim in publishing this content is to help finance professionals further understand how artificial intelligence and data analytics are being applied to support key business processes within financial institutions.

Following Claira’s funding announcement in June 2025, we ran the company capabilities through our proprietary research assessment model to produce a summary analysis.

☑️ Claira raised $7M to expand its AI-native credit intelligence platform. Barclays, Citi, and Reimagine Tech Ventures co-lead the round. The funding will support further integration and scale.

☑️ Claira is building a domain-specific platform designed to automate credit agreement parsing, covenant extraction, and deal monitoring — with structured data outputs feeding directly into tools like LoanIQ, Octaura, and PMS models.

☑️At the core is a proprietary AI engine tailored to the legal and financial context of private credit. The system has already been deployed across CLO desks, private-credit ops teams, and finance-focused law firms, with demonstrated time savings and auditability improvements.

☑️The platform’s ability to surface clause-level risks, benchmark deal terms, and track breaches in real time positions the company as an innovator in increasingly complex credit markets.
