In their words
Verdant is building the AI infrastructure for local government, and we’re starting with the highest volume workflow in local gov that requires judgement: permitting. We are the system of record and the analysis layer on top so every decision a government makes get made on better information, faster. In just two months we've processed 200+ permits and gone from 0 to 4 paid deployments across 4 states.

Is this you?
If you're behind Verdant: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
