Cleerly completed a Series C funding round in November 2024, and recently achieved Medicare coverage and a CPT Category I code for advanced plaque analysis, positioning itself as a market leader in AI-enabled cardiovascular diagnostics. As of May 31, 2026, the company has 354 employees, demonstrating significant scaling momentum in a competitive but undersaturated market.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Cleerly commands a strong competitive position with FDA clearance, recent Medicare coverage, substantial funding ($388-578M raised to date), and clinical validation across 40,000+ patients. However, it faces litigation from competitor HeartFlow (April 2026) over AI cardiology technology, which creates near-term execution and reputation risk.
