Clear Labs, the only automated and intelligent NGS platform purpose-built for food safety testing, today announced the close of $21M in funding. The Series B2 was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Wing VC, Dentsu Ventures, Felicis, and Khosla, along with a number of food production companies.
This round brings Clear Labs' total funding to $45M. The funding will be used to ramp up its commercial operations and build new features for Clear Safety, the company's flagship product for food safety testing. Currently, the platform supports high-volume testing for Salmonella, with the expectation to add support for additional pathogens and software features in 2019.
