GreenLite raises $49.5 million to scale AI plan review and move into lodging, logistics, clean energy and housing
Key facts first
GreenLite, a New York City construction technology firm founded in 2022, announced a $49.5 million Series B on September 15, 2025. The round was led by Insight Partners with participation from Energize Capital, Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures and Chicago Ventures. The company said the money will be used to expand sales and product work and to enter new verticals including lodging, industrial and logistics, clean energy infrastructure, multifamily and residential development.
What the company does and why it matters
GreenLite builds software for permitting, plan review and code compliance for the construction sector. Its main product, called LiteTable, is an AI‑powered tool that rapidly ingests plan sets, scans for code issues, flags compliance items and pulls up relevant guidance from a growing, proprietary library of compliance comments. The company positions this work around the model known as Private Plan Review (PPR), where third‑party experts perform official code reviews instead of a city plan examiner. GreenLite says its tools aim to cut permit timelines and reduce rework.
Immediate impact and scale
The company reports serving nearly 100 Fortune 500 customers and lists examples among retail and banking chains. GreenLite says its work targets retail, banking, logistics, quick‑service restaurants, industrial developers, production home builders, multifamily and other commercial customers, as well as local governments seeking plan review capacity.
Product and technology
LiteTable combines automated checks with a proprietary database of code comments and guidance that can be tailored to jurisdiction rules. According to the company, the platform can rapidly identify code violations, surface jurisdiction‑specific guidance, and reduce the number of plan revisions. The release states the platform can accelerate permit timelines by up to 75 percent and deliver building permits “in days, not months” under certain conditions. The firm also notes it has an in‑house team of architects, engineers and plan examiners to support reviews.
Market context and regulatory backdrop
GreenLite framed the announcement against a backdrop of growing construction demand, staff shortages in building departments and rising permit backlogs. The company noted that nearly a quarter of U.S. states have advanced legislation for Private Plan Review in the past three years, which it sees as supporting broader adoption of third‑party review models at scale.
Investors, leadership and hires
The Series B was led by Insight Partners, described in the filing as a global software investor with a large assets base and a long history of backing high‑growth software companies. GreenLite was founded by two former executives from a national delivery company. The company currently lists roughly 50 full‑time employees and says it is actively hiring across engineering, product, sales, marketing, operations and executive roles.
Claims and positioning
GreenLite positions itself as a provider that combines regulatory expertise with AI to deliver private plan review at scale. The company claims national reach ambitions, says it can reduce revisions and delays for customers, and points to a mix of commercial customers and local government partners as its target buyers.
