Scannable pitch deck on a fixed section spine

A scannable deck spec: the required sections in order, your company named in the deck, one idea per slide, and a three-sentence elevator pitch.

You receive: A structured JSON deck spec (slides plus a three-part elevator pitch) that passes every published structure check.

Part of Pitch Investors

What's verified: STUD verifies structure, not persuasion. The deck spec must parse as a JSON object (slides plus an elevator pitch) within a 100,000 character size bound. Every required section must appear exactly once: the fixed spine for your deck purpose (problem, solution, market size for an investor deck; problem, solution, value for a sales deck; an unrecognized purpose falls back to investor), plus every extra section you list in the intake. The spine must appear in that order, and the slide count must sit between the required-section count and your slide cap (default 12). Every slide needs one headline of 1 to 120 characters and at least one real bullet; no slide may carry more than your bullet cap (default 3), and every bullet must be a non-empty string of at most 24 words. The deck must mention the company name you provide, in a headline, a bullet, or the elevator pitch, matched ignoring case and punctuation (a contract frozen without a company name skips this one check). The elevator pitch must carry problem, solution, and size, exactly one sentence each. A slide cap outside the range from the required-section count to 40, or a bullet cap outside 1 to 10, is rejected as out of range. STUD does NOT judge persuasiveness, fundability, storytelling, design, or factual accuracy, and does NOT check the deck text against your one-liner, problem, solution, or market size notes: those intake fields are operator context that briefs the work, never machine-checked.

Fielded: permitting infrastructure for the built world

  • Software that reviews permit and zoning applications the way a senior plans examiner would, in minutes instead of weeks
  • Founded 2025, based in Austin, Texas

Permit review is a paper process hiding inside a digital one

  • The average zoning or building permit takes six to eight weeks to clear a first review
  • City plan examiners triage applications by hand against rules scattered across PDFs and local code
  • Every week of delay pushes back a small business opening or a housing unit coming online

Fielded turns permit rules into a live, queryable API

  • Applicants submit through a guided form that mirrors the actual local code
  • Fielded checks each submission against the jurisdiction's current rules and flags what is missing
  • Examiners get a structured, auditable recommendation instead of a blank PDF to start from

Every one of 19,000 US municipalities runs this process today

  • More than 19,000 US municipalities issue building, zoning, or business permits every year
  • Local governments spend an estimated 4 billion dollars annually on permit review staff and software
  • Permit software is a 1.2 billion dollar segment growing as cities digitize their back offices

Six pilot cities and a growing waitlist

  • Six city and county governments are running Fielded in pilot for building and zoning permits
  • Average first review time in pilot cities dropped from 41 days to 6 days
  • 38 additional municipalities are on a waitlist after inbound interest from state permitting associations

We charge government, not the applicant

  • Annual license priced per department, based on permit volume
  • Average contract value today is 84,000 dollars per year per city
  • Optional implementation package for jurisdictions migrating off paper or legacy permit software

Legacy permit software digitized the form, not the review

  • Incumbent vendors like Accela and CityView store applications but leave the actual review manual
  • Generic workflow tools require every city to rebuild its own rule logic from scratch
  • Fielded ships jurisdiction rule packs so a city goes live in weeks, not years

Builders who have shipped government software before

  • CEO previously led permitting product at a civic technology company serving 200 cities
  • CTO built the rules engine behind a tax compliance platform acquired in 2023
  • Advisory board includes two former city planning directors

Raising 2.5 million dollars to reach 50 live cities

  • Seed round of 2.5 million dollars at a 12 million dollar post-money valuation
  • Funds hire five engineers and two government-facing implementation leads
  • Eighteen month runway to 50 live cities and a repeatable state level sales motion

Fielded: the permit review layer every city already needs

  • Every week faster on permits is a business open sooner and a family housed sooner
  • Join us in making local government permitting fast, transparent, and auditable

Elevator pitch

Local governments spend weeks manually reviewing zoning and permit applications, delaying small business openings by months. Fielded automates permit and zoning review with an API that turns paper applications into structured, auditable decisions in minutes. The market includes more than 19,000 US municipalities that together process over 30 million permit applications each year.
