As part of the round, Gardiner Garrard, Co Founder and Managing Partner at TTV Capital, and Lindsay Fitzgerald, Co-Founder and General Partner at Vesey Ventures, will join ClarityPay's Board of Directors, bringing decades of fintech investment and scaling expertise to support the company's next stage of growth. They will join the existing board which includes CEO & Founder Houman Motaharian and previous investors, Neuberger's Outpost Ventures fund, represented by Peter Sterling and Zhengyuan Lu.
The equity financing follows the announcement of a $1 billion capital purchase program with funds managed by Neuberger Specialty Finance group in February. Now profitable, ClarityPay operates a proven, scalable platform that modernizes how merchants leverage consumer credit to drive sales.
ClarityPay solves longstanding challenges in aligning consumer financing with merchants' complex and highly segmented growth strategies. Their modular approach enables personalized credit offers across acquisition channels, at the right economics, to help merchants convert more customers and grow profitably.
ClarityPay enables merchants to:
• Approve more customers across the full credit spectrum—from super to subprime—with full approvals that match total order values
• Offer flexible payment plans, from 4-week installments to 84-month revolving terms
• Establish dedicated credit lines tied to their brand, driving repeat purchases and long-term customer loyalty
• Maintain full control of customer experience and data—with no competitive cross-sell
'From day one, we've been focused on delivering measurable value to merchants—creating a scalable, configurable credit solution that helps them acquire and retain more customers,' said Houman Motaharian, CEO and Founder of ClarityPay. 'With this additional capital and achieving profitability, we are uniquely positioned to give merchants more credit controls and greater flexibility to drive long-term loyalty. This next chapter is about scaling that impact by staying focused on a merchant-first approach, with major national merchants already operating at scale on our platform and additional partners to be announced soon.'
ClarityPay supports merchants in industries such as retail, elective health, wellness, travel, home improvement, and auto services. Integration is available via API or through major commerce and lending platforms—enabling seamless financing across in-store, online, and telesales channels.
'We've been investing in fintech infrastructure for over two decades, and ClarityPay is one of the most compelling companies we've seen,' said Gardiner Garrard, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at TTV Capital. 'Houman and his team bring a rare mix of operational discipline and market insight, with a product that solves real pain points in point-of-sale credit. The opportunity to modernize merchant-aligned lending—across categories and credit tiers—is massive, and ClarityPay is uniquely positioned to lead it.'
'ClarityPay is tackling one of the most stubborn gaps in embedded finance: how to make credit work for merchants, not just adjacent to them,' said Lindsay Fitzgerald, Co-Founder and General Partner at Vesey Ventures. 'The team has deep credit expertise, commercial rigor, and the urgency to execute in a market that's changing fast. What they've built—profitable growth, strong unit economics, real merchant traction—is incredibly rare. We're excited to support them as they scale a solution that creates real alignment between lenders, merchants, and consumers.'
The new equity funding will support operational scale, product development, and continued hiring across technology, partnerships, client success, and customer service.

Tech giant's stock plummets after Trump demands CEO resigns over China links

Intel's shares are tumbling before markets opened Thursday after President Donald Trump said in a social media post that the chipmaker's CEO needs to resign. 'The CEO of Intel is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!' Trump made the post after Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary expressing concern over CEO Lip-Bu Tan's investments and ties to semiconductor firms that are reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army. Cotton specifically called out Tan's recent leadership of Cadence Design Systems in the letter. The tech company admitted in July to selling its products to China's National University of Defense Technology in violation of U.S. export controls. 'In March 2025, Intel appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO,' Cotton wrote in the letter. 'Mr. Tan reportedly controls dozens of Chinese companies and has a stake in hundreds of Chinese advanced-manufacturing and chip firms. At least eight of these companies reportedly have ties to the Chinese People´s Liberation Army.' Intel's stock dropped more than 4 percent in premarket trading.

Martin Marietta second-quarter profit rises on infrastructure demand

Aug 7 (Reuters) - Martin Marietta Materials (MLM.N), opens new tab posted a 12% rise in second-quarter profit on Thursday, aided by stronger pricing and infrastructure demand. Higher demand for data centers powering artificial intelligence has helped boost construction activity. Construction firms have also benefited from former U.S. President Joe Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which outlined $1 trillion in investments. "Infrastructure activity remains robust, underpinned by sustained record levels of federal and state investment," Martin Marietta CEO Ward Nye said in a statement. The company's net earnings rose to $328 million, or $5.43 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, from $294 million, or $4.76 per share, a year ago. The U.S. construction materials supplier's quarterly revenue was up 3% at $1.81 billion.

Panic at Warren Buffett's empire as Wall Street gives chilling verdict on his retirement

Shares of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway have taken a hit since the investment oracle announced his retirement in May. Under the direction of Buffett since 1965, Berkshire has outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 5 million percentage points. However, Berkshire's class A shares — its original stock — have slumped 14 percent since Buffett, 94, revealed he would be handing over the reins to longtime deputy Greg Abel. Over the same time, the S&P 500 has soared 11 percent — marking the widest gap between Berkshire and the broader market since 1990, according to the Financial Times. Despite the drop in Berkshire's value, his personal wealth of $141 billion makes him the tenth richer person on Bloomberg's billionaires index. Buffett, known as the 'Oracle of Omaha,' has led Berkshire since 1965, transforming it from a struggling textile firm into a global investment giant with holdings from Apple to Dairy Queen. Investors' unease appears tied to Buffett's looming exit when Abel takes over on January 1 next year. In May, just before the announcement, Berkshire Class A shares hit a record high of $812,855 apiece. Since then, selling pressure has mounted, reflecting fears that the company's future may not live up to its storied past. Berkshire's original shares were mostly bought early in Buffett's career and have been handed down through families as a legacy investment. It is not yet known who has been selling off the stock but a picture may emerge when the quarterly reports of large investors and hedge funds are disclosed later this month. The downturn in Berkshire's stock comes despite strong results across its businesses including the BNSF railroad. The company's utilities, manufacturing, service and retail divisions reported profit growth in the second quarter. Shareholders told the FT that a three-month period was too short to fairly assess the company's performance especially considering Buffett's notoriously long investment horizons. Others added that investors turned to Berkshire as a safe haven back in April as markets reacted to Trump's tariff announcements. 'As the worries about tariffs started to were people rotating into the safety of Berkshire,' Bill Stone, the chief investment officer of Berkshire investor Glenview Trust told the FT. However, Stone argued that now technology stocks are taking off in the AI boom and concerns over a possible recession recede investors are willing to move away from Berkshire and into those areas again. 'What is really moving in this market is technology, and we know that's not really his thing,' he explained. Buffett himself - who repurchases stock when he 'believes that the repurchase price is below Berkshire's intrinsic value' according to the company - stopped buying Berkshire shares in May last year. He has also been selling other stocks including a large portion of the company's Apple investment. The company has been a net seller of stocks for 11 quarters in a row, bringing its cash pile up to $344 billion. Among these major sell-offs were $3.2 billion in shares tied to the banking industry, including a $1 billion exit from Citigroup and a $2 billion reduction in Bank of America. 'Berkshire has clearly been reducing its exposure to U.S. bank stocks,' Larry Cunningham, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware told The Telegraph. 'That activity signals a cautious or even bearish outlook on banking.' Buffett's investment choices have long had the ability to move the markets. When Buffett increased his stake in five Japanese trading houses earlier this year it sent their stocks rocketing. The same result emerged last year when Berkshire and Buffett scooped up $563 million of stock in Occidental Petroleum, Sirius XM and VeriSign.
