AI Agents to Make Local Gov Efficient
Verdant sells AI agents to local government to make them more efficient. We're starting with permitting, the highest-volume workflow in local government that requires judgment.
Many startups fail to sell to government, but not us - we've processed 200+ applications and gone from 0 to 4 paid deployments across 4 states with an average close time of 4 weeks.
