Who we are

We are a team of energy developers, social scientists, and AI engineers, united by a single mission: make permitting predictable, faster, and fairer.

PermitPal was created after seeing firsthand why nearly a third of U.S. clean energy projects face costly delays or cancellations. The missing piece isn't just environmental data or engineering inputs, it's community and political intelligence.

Our core belief is that the best conversations start with listening. Before building PermitPal, we interviewed more than 250 local leaders, developers, and researchers. We learned that while developers measure capacity, acreage, and environmental risk, the most decisive factor is often overlooked: people.

We've seen how community engagement grounded in local context leads to better outcomes. But gathering that context has traditionally required hours of manual desk research, time taken away from the conversations that matter most.

PermitPal changes that. By combining cutting-edge AI with deep human insight, we put local context at your fingertips, helping your team start with listening, build coalitions, and end with project approval.
