ClearRoute's proprietary QCE (Quality Cloud Engineering) framework, developed in 2022, revolutionizes the 'Route to Live' by identifying and solving every roadblock on the path to production. Their multi-skilled QCE engineers work as a unified layer connecting silos, dismantling obstacles, and creating shared language across development, operations, and quality teams.

In 2011, ClearCaptions was founded with a driving force to serve the hard-of-hearing community, recognizing a critical gap in telephone communication for millions of seniors. The founders realized that traditional telephony was failing those with hearing loss, leading to isolation and a loss of independence. What started as web and mobile-based captioning service products has evolved into a comprehensive FCC-certified telephone captioning provider that serves thousands of customers across the United States. Over the past decade, ClearCaptions has continuously innovated - from launching Ensemble, a breakthrough home phone captioning service in 2013, to creating amplified captioning phones with larger screens, to developing mobile apps for iPhone and iPad users. The company's journey reflects a deep commitment to their core values: integrity, service, quality, accountability, and collaboration. By combining groundbreaking automatic speech recognition technology with human captioning and white-glove service, ClearCaptions has helped countless seniors regain their independence and stay connected with loved ones, proving that technology can truly change lives.

In 2001, our founders Duane Andrews and Kevin Marshall recognized a fundamental gap in the real estate industry: lenders, investors, and real estate professionals were making critical decisions without confidence, relying on fragmented data and slow, outdated valuation processes. They founded Clear Capital with a singular vision to build confidence in real estate decisions through technology, data, and analytics. What began as REONetwork.com - a searchable database connecting REO asset managers with real estate professionals - evolved into a comprehensive real estate valuation technology company that would transform how the industry understands property value. Over two decades later, Clear Capital has grown from that initial insight into a national leader in real estate valuation technology, offering automated valuation models (AVMs), hybrid and traditional appraisals, appraisal review platforms, and property data analytics. Our commitment to excellence - wherever it leads, whatever it takes - drives us to pioneer AI-powered solutions like AURA, our automated underwriting risk analyzer, and CubiCasa, our automated floor plan technology. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, we serve mortgage lenders, real estate professionals, and investors across the nation, providing the clarity and confidence they need to strengthen communities and improve lives through every real estate transaction.
