About PermitFlow PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. Pre‑construction remains one of the most broken and manual parts of the $1.6T construction industry, causing massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity across the built world. Our AI workforce delivers unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to pre‑construction — accelerating housing development, enabling clean‑energy projects, and driving economic growth in communities nationwide. To date, we’ve powered over $20B in real estate development, helping builders and contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.
We’re entering hypergrowth with clear product‑market fit and a world‑class team from top AI and construction companies. We’ve raised over $36.5M from Kleiner Perkins, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, and Altos Ventures, alongside backers from OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber. We are on a mission to modernize how the built world operates.
