Clutch Suspending Operations in Russia and Belarus

Dear Clutch Community,

Clutch stands with the people of Ukraine. We cannot watch tragic events unfold without doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine. As a result, today we are suspending all business activity with companies headquartered in Russia and Belarus. 

Over the next 2 weeks, we will be removing all of our content highlighting companies based in Russia and Belarus from our site. 

This has not been an easy decision, as it will impact many businesses and people who do not support this war and we regret any hardship these steps may create.

Clutch was founded to connect B2B companies and help them be successful together. Our goal has been to facilitate cross-border collaboration, which would drive more equitable economic opportunity across the globe. The Russian invasion has challenged this vision and reaffirmed our values. 

Our team has launched initiatives to support those impacted by: 

• Ensuring our teammates in the region are safe and supported
• Encouraging users on our site to partner with a Ukrainian firm for their next project
• Donating to humanitarian relief efforts to support Ukrainian refugees. 

Today, we go further: we won’t be listing businesses, creating content, driving leads, or accepting payments from companies based in Russia and Belarus.  

Clutch is committed to providing the best experience for our buyers and our service providers across the globe. We have a responsibility to act in the best interests of all our users globally while making it clear through our policies that we are opposed to this war. 
 
In support,
sonny
