🏗️ About PermitFlow

PermitFlow is building the first end-to-end permitting platform, modernizing how projects across industries—residential, commercial, solar, EV, and beyond—move from concept to construction. Permitting is often the #1 cause of project delays, and we're on a mission to fix it.

Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Initialized Capital, we’re creating the category-defining pre-construction platform in a $35B+ market. Whether you're supporting a regional builder, a national solar installer, or a commercial development firm, PermitFlow helps teams permit faster, more efficiently, and with greater predictability.

You’ll own complex, multi-stakeholder deals—often $300K+ ACV—with longer sales cycles that require deep discovery, thoughtful problem-solving, and a change management mindset. This isn’t about selling a point solution—it’s about delivering real operational transformation.
