Chariot Claims Secures $3.6M to Make Mass Legal Claims Frictionless

Chariot Claims, formerly known as ClaimClam, has just secured $3.6 million in seed funding to tackle a problem that’s long plagued the legal system: making mass legal claims actually accessible to the people they’re supposed to serve. The funding round was led by Indicator Ventures, with participation from Lightbank, Neon Ventures, Alumni Ventures, FJ Labs, Graph Ventures, Rosecliff Ventures, Chapter F, and ZVC.

The company automates the entire claims process - from eligibility checks to final payout - making it possible for consumers to file in seconds what would traditionally require legal help, paperwork, and weeks of confusion. So far, over 65,000 claims have been filed through the platform, representing more than $92 million in pending settlements.

Solving What Most People Don’t Realize Is Broken

Most consumers don’t file claims even when they qualify - not because they don’t care, but because the process is exhausting. Chariot is zeroing in on this overlooked friction point in the legal pipeline and treating it like a design problem, not a legal one.

And that’s exactly what makes the startup so transformative.

Buried within Chariot’s rise is a lesson that should catch every founder’s attention. CEO Zim Hang didn’t just identify a broken industry - he spotted something more subtle: apathy disguised as inevitability. When users give up before they even try, it's usually not because your product isn’t good enough, but because they no longer believe change is possible.

Founders often chase problems that scream. But Chariot teaches us that the most scalable opportunities might be hidden inside the whispers - quiet user pain so normalized that no one questions it anymore. When you solve for that invisible friction, you don’t just improve a product; you reset expectations. Hang built Chariot not to convince users to file claims, but to make filing feel so seamless it would seem absurd not to.

For startup builders, this insight is pure gold: your biggest competitive moat might come from tackling things your competitors don’t even see as problems anymore. Chariot’s success isn’t built on legal disruption alone - it’s about making an unfair system finally feel fair again, at scale.

The Platform Behind the Promise

Chariot’s consumer-facing platform mimics the UX principles of modern fintech. Users answer a few prompts, connect relevant accounts (like banking or email), and get instant eligibility results. The backend is equally powerful, offering partner firms automation tools to manage and process claims at massive volume.

This dual-pronged approach benefits both sides of the legal table - enabling firms to operate faster, and consumers to get results without legal headaches. The simplicity isn’t skin-deep; it’s structural.

Expanding into New Vertical Categories

With the new capital, Chariot will expand into several new mass claim verticals, including wage theft, housing fraud, and data breaches - areas that affect millions but remain largely under-litigated due to entry barriers.

The company is also hiring across engineering, design, and legal operations to support its fast-growing pipeline. Security and compliance, especially as Chariot handles sensitive personal and financial information, are top priorities.

Rebuilding Legal Infrastructure for the Digital Era

More than just a startup, Chariot is positioning itself as the connective tissue between consumers and legal outcomes - a kind of infrastructure play for distributed justice. And by automating everything from intake to settlement tracking, they’re enabling class actions to scale in ways previously impossible.

The legal industry has long resisted change. Chariot is proving that automation and empathy can coexist - and even thrive - in a space where bureaucracy once ruled.
