ClearTech Media

What ClearTech Media does

ClearTech Media, operating as ClearTech AV Solutions, is a Southern California-based commercial audiovisual (AV) integration and managed services provider founded in 1983 and headquartered in Altadena, California. The company designs, procures, installs, and manages AV systems for three primary customer segments: enterprise (multi-location corporations), corporate (mid-market communication-heavy businesses), and education (higher education institutions and K-12 schools). ClearTech is a privately held, WBE-certified women-owned business led by founder and President Christina De Bono and CTO Joe Perez, with between 11 and 50 employees. The company has no disclosed external funding, private equity investment, or parent company.

The company's core offering spans the full AV lifecycle: design consulting, system integration/installation, and post-deployment managed services. Its product portfolio includes proprietary solutions such as EduFLEX (a portable hybrid learning system deployed at Pepperdine University across 166 classrooms and 24 non-academic spaces on five campuses), ClearTech Connect (24/7 remote monitoring and management with QR-code live technician access), ClearTech As-A-Service (a monthly subscription bundling design, deployment, managed services, and scheduled technology refreshes), and ClearTech Live (professional remote production for virtual conferences). Underlying technology is built around commercial AV hardware from partners including Extron, Crestron, Panasonic, Sony, Shure, JBL, Biamp, Logitech, and Poly. Notable customer relationships include Pepperdine University (multiple projects including an $18.8M Payson Library renovation), Western University of Health Sciences (20-year relationship), Cal Poly Pomona, Flintridge Preparatory School, Campbell Hall, Granite Properties, Manulife, and FirstService Residential.

Revenue is generated through four streams: subscription/recurring revenue via As-A-Service, recurring managed services via ClearTech Connect, project-based AV integration and installation, AV design consulting, and professional production services. All sales are conducted direct through consultative enterprise field sales, primarily in the Southern California market. ClearTech has no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace listings. The company is differentiated by its SAVe (Sustainability in AV) industry leadership, WBE certification, and Panasonic Direct-View LED Premier Partner designation; it does not disclose financial figures and has no public funding history.
