History

Founded in 1998, ClearForest had its headquarters just outside Boston and a development center in Or Yehuda.^[1] The company was acquired by Reuters in April, 2007. It now markets its services under the names Calais, OpenCalais, and OneCalais.

ClearForest was previously venture-backed; its last funding round was led by Greylock Ventures and closed in 2005. Other investors included DB Capital Partners, Pitango, Walden Israel, Booz Allen, JP Morgan Partners and HarbourVest Partners.

On February 7, 2008 Reuters announced the launch of Open Calais,^[2] a named-entity recognition and semantic analysis service that uses ClearForest technology.
