Innovation in Action:PermitSage
How experience and ambition combine to solve real problems
When we met the team behind PermitSage, they had a complex problem: the construction permitting process was broken.
By combining The Clever Widget Factory's deep industry experience in architecture and development with cutting-edge AI technology, we helped incubate a solution that is now changing how real estate development is managed.
PermitSage is the embodiment of what happens when experienced guidance meets youthful energy. It is an AI-driven platform that streamlines the chaotic world of building permits—and it started right here.
The PermitSage Model
Industry Expertise
Decades of experience in architecture and real estate development. We understood the pain points intimately and could guide solutions toward what actually works in practice.
Technical Innovation
The PermitSage team brought fresh thinking and cutting-edge AI technology. We provided the roadmap; they built the engine. Together, we created something neither could alone.
Proven Partnership
PermitSage proves our model works. When founders get access to real experience and financial support without the pressure of traditional VC timelines, they build something meaningful.
Why PermitSage Matters
PermitSage isn't just another SaaS company. It's solving a real problem that affects every real estate developer, municipality, and builder in the country.
The construction permitting process is notoriously opaque and inefficient. PermitSage brings clarity, speed, and intelligence to a system that desperately needed it.
And it started with founders who had a vision, and mentors who believed in it enough to roll up their sleeves and help build.
This Is Our Philosophy in Action
At The Clever Widget Factory, we believe in backing great founders with great ideas. PermitSage is just the beginning.
