Government grants & permitting

Grants and permits run on form-heavy, multi-stage approval chains with strict accessibility requirements and little status visibility — a paper-era process across thousands of agencies.

Vitals (seed — unverified): market: large public grant + permit volume · per-program rules · buyer: applicants / municipalities · model: per-application or subscription · whitespace: ★★★

Seed thesis

• The mess: Program-specific forms and attestations; multi-stage sign-offs; Section 508 accessibility requirements; no status transparency.
• Why now: Agencies are slow to digitize; agents can assemble compliant packets and produce accessible documents that the rules require.
• The money: Each grant/permit can gate significant funding or revenue; high volume across agencies.
• Whitespace: Near-empty. Paper-era chains; existing tools are portals, not agents that assemble and file.
