Clarasight is a New York-based AI platform for enterprise travel and expense. It unifies fragmented data from travel management companies, expense tools, corporate cards and HR systems into a single, AI-ready model, then helps teams automate workflows, forecast budgets, negotiate with suppliers, enforce policy and report on emissions - without ripping out the tools companies already use. Founded in 2021 as Climate Club with a sustainability mission, it rebranded to Clarasight in 2024 as it broadened from carbon planning into the broader operating system for travel and expense leaders. The company raised an $11.5M Series A led by AlleyCorp in April 2026.
