PermitFlow is building AI agents for the $1.6T construction industry. We’re creating the leading pre-construction platform, starting with the $12B permitting market.
Our platform automates the slow, manual permitting process for builders, covering everything from jurisdiction research to application preparation, submission, and real-time tracking. By transforming fragmented regulations and manual workflows into structured, intelligent systems, we help contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.
We've raised $36.5M+ with Kleiner Perkins leading our Series A, joined by Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, and Altos Ventures. Our backers include founders and executives from OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.
We are a team of architects, engineers, permitting experts, and product builders who have felt the pain of pre-construction firsthand and are committed to fixing it. Demand is growing faster than we can meet, and we’re hiring top talent to help us scale.
Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). Preference for NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.
