NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clarity
Money
, a personal finance app that acts as the “Champion of Your
Money,” today announced an $11 million Series B funding round led by RRE
Ventures and Citi Ventures.

This financing comes just three months after Clarity Money launched its
product and eight months after raising a $3.5 million Series A, bringing
the total raised by the company to $14.5 million. Existing investors in
Clarity Money include Bessemer Venture Partners, Soros Capital, RRE
Ventures and Maveron Ventures. Clarity Money is led by serial
entrepreneur Adam Dell, who has started several companies, including

stage companies as a venture capitalist, including OpenTable (PCLN),
Ingenio (T), Greenplum (EMC) and HotJobs (YHOO).

“Clarity Money’s app is not just another personal financial manager,”
said Stuart Ellman of RRE Ventures. “Clarity leverages artificial
intelligence and insights to deliver on the promise of true financial
advocacy and empowerment for everyone. We have backed Adam Dell in the
past and are impressed with the phenomenal team he has brought together
to tackle this immense opportunity.”

“The future of financial services will be transformed by those who can
successfully leverage APIs to connect consumers with best-of-breed
providers,” said Luis Valdich, Managing Director at Citi Ventures. “Citi
Ventures is pleased to support Clarity Money, which is committed to
responsible finance and is empowering consumers via APIs with actionable
insights and third-party products that can help improve their financial
health.”

Since its launch in January 2017, Clarity Money has analyzed over
$10 billion in transactions for customers, and has saved, on average,
$300 per customer who have taken advantage of Clarity Money’s
subscription cancellation service.

“Clarity Money is honored to have attracted such a stellar group of
investors who support our mission of empowering Americans to take
control of their finances,” said Dell, founder and CEO. “In just 90
days, over 100,000 people have seen the power of Clarity Money. This
additional financing enables us to expand our team and capabilities, at
a time when consumers need a financial advocate more than ever.”

Beyond its team of technology industry veterans, Clarity Money provides
its users with objective financial advocacy through its Customer
Advisory Council, which includes financial experts Niall Ferguson, a
Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, Erich
Ringewald, the Chief Technical Architect at American Express, and Dan
