The construction permitting landscape is a complex web of regulations, multiple departments, and outdated systems. This fragmentation leads to delays, errors, and increased costs that ultimately impact housing affordability and urban development. GreenLite was founded to solve this exact problem. Ever breezed past TSA using the Clear lane? That’s exactly what GreenLite is doing for construction permitting. Yesterday, GreenLite announced their Series A raise of $28.5 million, led by Craft Ventures with participation from Trust Ventures, 53 Stations, and LiveOak Ventures.

As Earth grows nearer to a future of rapid technological advancement and unprecedented population size, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: we need more energy. The search for new ways to create and harness energy has turned up several promising methods, including nuclear fission. However, public skepticism has long kept nuclear from reaching its full potential. Enter Oklo Inc. Oklo’s mission is to create and deploy advanced fission power plants that are smaller, safer, and more affordable than traditional nuclear reactors. The Oklo team, who recently took the company public via SPAC, is supercharging humanity's path to energy abundance.
