Permitting process navigator

Build a tool that predicts and explains local permitting requirements. Renewable energy developers face costly delays.

Why now

As green energy projects boom, navigating inconsistent local regulations is a major bottleneck.

Who for
Renewable energy developers
Business model
Enterprise subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Every municipality has different rules for solar/wind projects, causing expensive delays.

Create a database that predicts permitting requirements based on location and project type, with explainers for each step.

Sell to renewable energy startups and construction firms as a time-saving tool.

Start with one region and expand based on demand.

Biggest risk is regulations changing frequently.
