GreenLite raises $49.5 million in Series B to scale AI plan review and expand into new sectors
Summary
GreenLite, a New York City–based construction technology company, announced a $49.5 million Series B funding round on September 15, 2025. The round was led by Insight Partners and included participation from Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures, and Chicago Ventures. The company said the new capital will be used to expand go‑to‑market efforts, move into several new verticals, and further develop its AI‑driven compliance platform.
What the company does
Founded in 2022 by two former executives from a large on‑demand retail company, GreenLite builds software to speed permitting, plan review and code compliance for builders, developers and local governments. Its flagship product, LiteTable, is described as an AI‑powered digital plan review tool that ingests full plan sets, flags compliance issues, and surfaces guidance from an internal comment library that is tailored to specific jurisdictions.
How the product works
The company combines a proprietary database of compliance comments with automation and machine learning to scan plans, identify possible code violations, and highlight jurisdiction‑specific rules and guidance. GreenLite positions this approach as a way to reduce revisions, avoid delays and shorten permitting timelines. In company materials, GreenLite claims its solution can accelerate permit timelines by 75% and deliver building permits “in days, not months.” These are stated performance claims from the company.
Market context and use cases
GreenLite targets a mix of commercial operators, developers and government customers. Stated customers and examples include major retail and financial brands, and the company reports serving nearly 100 Fortune 500 organizations. Named examples in company materials include pharmacy and automotive retail chains and a large bank. Typical use cases listed are retail rollouts, quick‑service restaurant builds, industrial and logistics facilities, production home building, clean energy infrastructure, hospitality and multifamily development.
Private Plan Review and scale ambitions
The funding announcement emphasized Private Plan Review (PPR), a model where qualified third‑party experts conduct official code compliance reviews instead of municipal plan examiners. GreenLite positions its system as a national‑scale PPR provider that pairs regulatory expertise with AI. The company cites growing demand for PPR as building departments face labor shortages, limited tech adoption and rising backlogs. The release notes that nearly a quarter of U.S. states have advanced legislation related to PPR within the past three years.
Financial and investor details
The Series B totaled $49.5 million and was led by Insight Partners. Additional investors named were Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures and Chicago Ventures. Materials about Insight Partners supplied with the announcement describe it as a global software investor with billions in assets under management and a history of investing in hundreds of technology companies.
Operations and hiring
The company reported a headcount of roughly 50 full‑time employees and said it is actively hiring across engineering, product, sales, marketing, operations and executive functions. It lists an in‑house team of architects, engineers and plan examiners as part of its operational capability to deliver PPR services.
Planned expansion and product roadmap
Proceeds from the round are slated for broad commercial expansion and entrance into new verticals in the near term, with specific mention of lodging, industrial and logistics, clean energy and residential and multifamily development. The company also said it will continue investing in its AI and compliance platform to widen jurisdictional coverage and automation.
Claims and caveats
The company frames its offering as transforming permitting by streamlining plan review and compliance. Those operational benefits and performance figures are reported as company claims; independent verification was not part of the announcement. The firm also claims to be the only private provider combining regulatory expertise at scale with AI for nationwide PPR delivery.
Background and contact
GreenLite was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in New York City. The company’s public website is listed as https://greenlite.com/. The funding announcement was dated September 15, 2025.
