Clue Software named Ones to Watch in The Sunday Times 100 Tech
We’re proud to share that Clue Software has been named among the Ones to Watch in The Sunday Times 100 Tech in 2026, recognising Britain’s fastest growing private technology companies.
As part of this recognition, our CEO Clare Elford was highlighted alongside an inspiring group of women founders and leaders shaping the future of UK tech. It’s an important milestone – reflecting both Clue’s growth and the role purpose driven technology can play in supporting those working to protect society.
Today, Clue is trusted by more than 100 mission-led organisations across over 21 countries, spanning policing, public services, NGOs, regulators, sport and environmental protection. Our software supports teams tackling safeguarding, economic crime, exploitation, integrity threats and the protection of critical infrastructure.
Our growth has been built on long-term partnerships, deep domain expertise and trust – staying close to the people doing complex, high consequence work and building technology that supports sound judgement, accountability and impact.
Being recognised by The Sunday Times 100 Tech is a meaningful moment for our team. It’s a reflection of sustained progress, shared values and the confidence our customers place in us.
As we look ahead, this recognition strengthens us for continued growth as we continue to invest further in our product, our people and our mission: to build world-class software that helps protect society from harm.
