Spark (Spark AI)

Nationwide US county-grain permitting and entitlement dataset for solar, battery storage, data centers and other energy infrastructure: local zoning and planning codes, permit requirements, fees and agencies per jurisdiction, active and proposed moratoria, project dockets and agendas, plus a community-sentiment and local-opposition layer. Built by an automated crawl-extract-normalize-index-cite pipeline so every field carries a citation back to the source document, and continuously monitored so zoning or moratorium changes are detected as events rather than re-researched

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal: structured tabular jurisdiction and permit-requirement records keyed by county and parcel with GIS geometry, plus cited document extracts (ordinance and agenda text with source links) and event/change feeds from continuous monitoring; also sold as a discrete deliverable permit matrix
Volume: 3,000+ US counties under continuous monitoring as the stated coverage baseline, each carrying permit requirements, fees, agencies, zoning codes, moratorium status and a sentiment layer; plus per-jurisdiction document corpora (ordinances, agendas, dockets) with citations, and GIS parcel-level screening on top. A discrete permit-matrix product is sold per market, implying the underlying requirement grid is pre-built rather than researched per order
Users: Low tens of enterprise accounts (inferred: the vendor quotes '100+ projects screened — average per customer' and '$30B+ project financing raised by customers', which implies a concentrated base of large developers, at 9 employees and seed funding)
History: 2 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and early — a Y Combinator launch, seed-stage funding of roughly $130K with 9 employees, SOC 2 compliance achieved, and marquee enterprise logos including NextEra Energy alongside a purchasable product line, all indicating rapid commercial build-out rather than a mature or static operation
Launched: ~2024 (organisational record established early 2024, founder contact records dated 2024, and the product is an agentic-AI construction that could not have shipped materially earlier)
