Today Clair made the Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. This recognizes the incredible growth Clair has been able to achieve, especially in the past 20 months. It's July 2026 and we have reached our end of year forecast already, we grew 10x in 2025 and 3x already during the first half of 2026. What I'm most proud of is that we have simultaneously become operating cash flow profitable - meaning we haven't needed external capital throughout that entire hyper growth phase, allowing us to build a long term sustainable business to serve our mission of empowering America's workforce to feel financially free. Thank you to Amy, Sofia, Jeff and the entire Forbes team for the recognition, and to our partners, investors, and the Clair team who make this possible every day. https://lnkd.in/dtASHHqa
Clair has been named to Forbes' Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. When we started in 2019, the idea was simple: workers shouldn't have to wait two weeks to access money they'd already earned. An unexpected bill—even a few hundred dollars—can create a real crisis for someone living paycheck to paycheck. Today we're live with 250,000+ businesses across the U.S., including partners like Gusto, Intuit, and BambooHR, all while building infrastructure that sits inside the platforms employees already use every day. Thank you to our partners, our team, and everyone who believed in this from the beginning.

At any given moment, U.S. employers are sitting on tens of billions of dollars in wages their workers have already earned, but haven't yet been paid. That capital doesn't do much sitting in a corporate account. But for the person who earned it, waiting on it can be the difference between filling a prescription and going without. Meet Sam. He works at a beach restaurant in Florida, lives with diabetes, and during the slow season has had to ration his insulin — while his own earned wages sat just out of reach, waiting for an arbitrary payday. He's a composite of the workers Clair serves every day. And he's not rare: nearly 4 in 10 Americans can't cover a surprise $400 expense with cash on hand. We built Clair to close that gap — giving workers access to the pay they've already earned, embedded directly in the payroll platforms they already use. First in a short series on where this is all going 👇

Security guard companies are now asking for on-demand pay by name when they shop for payroll and staffing software. Not as a nice-to-have, but as something they expect to already be there. We saw this clearly with Clair's launch of Belfry in May. The industry runs on thin margins and constant turnover, and on-demand pay has become one of the few retention levers that actually moves the needle. Hear more about our launch with Belfry through our partner, Check, in my conversation with Ian Zapolsky - linked in the comments.

We're hiring at Clair! We need someone to own experimentation: designing A/B tests, figuring out what actually matters to measure, and helping the team make better calls on both product and underwriting decisions. It's a role with real range — you'll be working closely with product, risk, and engineering, and the decisions you influence will actually reach millions of people. Based in NYC, hybrid. If this sounds like your kind of problem, I'd love to hear from you — link below, or feel free to just message me! https://lnkd.in/gsd3VNve

When Clair goes live on a platform, here's the employer's to-do list: Nothing. On-Demand Pay is on from day one, because it's built into the platform their people already use. That was deliberate: a benefit that depends on an employer remembering to switch it on mostly never gets switched on — it's the whole reason marketplace EWA adoption stays low. So we removed the switch. The employer gets the retention benefit without ever touching the product. 🎥

I joined Clair in late 2024 as a team of one, which meant building the marketing function largely from scratch—content strategy, demand gen, GTM. What I didn't expect was how fast the company would grow around me. The next chapter is about making sure the brand reflects that. We've proven the product works. Now we need to build the external presence—events, communications, earned media—that turns a well-kept secret into a category leader. I'm hiring a contract-to-hire Events and Communications Manager to help me do this. If you're someone who's done B2B events and fintech or startup comms, cares about the story behind the work, and knows how to execute without a big team behind you, I'd love to talk. Feel free to reach out directly or apply here (note: this is a hybrid role based in NYC): https://lnkd.in/gbkG8NDh

Most payroll platforms treat employees like database rows. The ones winning treat them like users of a consumer app. Here's what to do about it. 🎥
