Permit Flow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how. Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.
Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. Permit Flow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.
As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining Permit Flow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.
We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, Service Titan, Zillow, Plan Grid, and Uber.
Why Permit Flow Wants YouThis role owns our most strategic buyers: the owners, developers, retailers, and national builders running multi-site programs across the country — the Amazons, Walmarts, big-box retailers, restaurant and fitness franchises, data center developers, and more whose growth lives and dies by permitting predictability.
For these accounts, permitting isn't a back-office task — it's the gating item on every store opening, every facility buildout, every site in the pipeline.
