About Blumen

Blumen is building software to streamline permitting, compliance, and regulatory hurdles for project developers and EPC companies powering renewables and infrastructure development int he US.

Initial traction for our permitting platform is very high, and we are pursuing many downstream opportunities as we perfect the platform. We’re looking for motivated players to continue to build our world-class platform and help developers breeze through the regulatory process, soup to nuts.

1. Put yourself in the customer’s shoes. We care deeply about serving our customers above all else.

2. No job is too small. Details matter, even if nobody will ever see them.

3. Every problem is an opportunity. Any solution that is clever, difficult to reproduce, or takes serious guts is an opportunity to widen our moat.

4. Own the problem. Not your solution. Best idea wins.
