Francis Thumpasery
Francis Thumpasery is the co-founder and CEO of PermitFlow, a New York-based startup using AI to drag construction permitting out of the fax-machine era. After a Harvard economics degree, a stint at McKinsey, and years investing in workflow software, he watched relatives outside Washington, DC wrestle with permits and decided the $1.6 trillion construction industry deserved better software. Since 2021 PermitFlow has powered over $20B in construction value, raised $90.5M, and turned a famously paper-bound process into something measured in days instead of months.
