What fuels us

Software Development With a Client-First Approach

Clear Function started because too many companies were wrestling with clunky, one-size-fits-all systems. The founding team wanted to help businesses get their technology to work for them, not against them.

So, we set out to change that. Why? Because we believe every business deserves tools that grow with them, simplify their lives, and let them focus on what they do best.

Plus, let’s be honest—we love solving tricky problems and making complex things feel like a breeze. That’s what gets us up in the morning and keeps us pushing for better solutions every day.

OUR STORY

Since 2015, and most of the founding team is still here

  1. 2015

    Founded in Memphis

    Colin Neller founded Clear Function with this mission: “We design and build meaningful solutions because we enjoy solving complex problems that help our clients realize their vision.” The first team fit into one small office.

  2. 2020

    Went fully remote

    When the pandemic began, we went fully remote.

  3. 2023–2024

    A building of our own

    We bought a building at 2277 West Street in Germantown in 2023 and moved in during 2024.

  4. 2025

    Ten years

    Four of our five original team members, Colin Neller, David “Mo” Mohundro, Brian Lankford and Stephen Overholser, are still here.

    AI across the team

    We adopted AI coding agents across the team. How we deliver explains how we use them and where a person signs off.

CODE AND DATA

How we handle your code and data

You own the code

By default, you own the code you pay for, and we build it so you can operate, modify, extend and hand it off to any team you choose.

What owning your software means for long-term costs

Our SOC 2 history

Clear Function completed a SOC 2 Type II examination and maintained its SOC 2 program until 2025.

What one client's team changed after our review

We reviewed a client's AI-built applications, one of which handles sensitive personal information. Their team does the work: we explain what needs to change and why. On our recommendation:

  • They rotated the keys that had been sitting in a repository, treating each one as exposed.
  • They took real client data out of staging and now work from scrubbed copies.
  • They changed their path to production: a change is now approved by a second person before it is merged and deployed.
  • They encrypted sensitive fields, with role-based access and an audit trail.
  • They defined each entity's regulatory scope, with an infrastructure plan to match.

Our Culture & Core Values

Collaboration

We work well together and with our clients. We always assume positive intent and we value feedback because we believe that we are better as a team than as individuals.

Ownership

We own the results of our work. We don’t focus on blaming; we focus on improving.

Development

We’re always learning, growing and improving. We constantly evolve our processes, skills, and ourselves to produce better experiences and results for our clients.

Empathy

We constantly put ourselves in our clients and teammates shoes. We speak to them how they would like to be addressed, and we have hard conversations because results matter.

How we deliver

Seven drawings, each one signed.

Every project works through the same set of drawings, from the first design to the revision table. An agent drafts each one, AI review checks it, and a named engineer approves it.

  1. 00 First design Free Screens or an architecture sketch
  2. 01 Discover Clickable screens from your conversations
  3. 02 Plan A written scope, every assumption on paper
  4. 03 Build A record of every change and why
  5. 04 Test A review record, and what we tested
  6. 05 Deploy A cutover runbook, morning after included
  7. 06 Iterate A revision table, and a system you own
