Shovels analyzes 100M building permits to help climate tech companies market to homeowners and build installer networks.
We
so you don't have to
Before Shovels, gathering up all the building permits and contractors active in a particular region so you can identify the right homeowners and contractors was painful. Now it's easy. That's the problem we're solving.
Shovels is built for building permit analysis
We've gone out of our way to make our data easy to use across jurisdictions. A lot happens behind the scenes: cleaning, associating, normalizing, interpreting, and deriving new metrics. We do the heavy lifting so you can build products and get them to market.
