This means transforming regulations, permits, zoning plans, local sentiments, geospatial layers, public inquiries, and decades of fragmented documents into a system AI can reason over reliably.Our founders combine real estate expansion, regulatory expertise, and frontier AI engineering experience from Tesla, Deloitte Real Estate, Cleary Gottlieb, Greenomy (exited), Harvard, and McKinsey. We're backed by Seedcamp, Kima Ventures, TinyVC, and angels from ElevenLabs, real estate executives and unicorn repeat founders.We're hiring Founding Data Engineers.You'll work directly with the founders.
