The adoption industry is archaic, and the parties that must work in unison to secure safe and loving new families often don’t talk to each other–leaving birth moms, adoptive parents, and even adoption professionals frustrated.

Erin Quick (Keaty) understands this firsthand, which is why she built PairTree. PairTree is using technology to transform adoption and bring the US adoption system into the 21st century. PairTree brings all parties involved in the adoption process together on one user-friendly platform. This allows birth moms and adoptive parents to take control of their own journeys by connecting safely, easily, and transparently with the right professionals to support them through the complex and emotional adoption process.

According to Erin, “We want to effect positive, lasting change in adoption. And because we have this incredible honor of getting to talk to families on both sides and at various stages, I think we now feel the pretty weighty responsibility, because it’s bigger than any of us thought it was going to be, and it's too important to not be better.”

In partnership with Stand Together and Freethink, we’re thrilled to share this short documentary on PairTree.

Permitting is a nightmare: It’s the biggest gating item to building and it’s completely outside of your control. Today permitting means confusing requirements, unexpected delays leading to cost overruns, and zero visibility into the timeline.

We invested in GreenLite Technologies because their team understands this challenge firsthand. The product gets customers permits in a third of the time, in some cases saving over a million dollars in lost revenue, and increasing transparency. It’s a gamechanger for architects, engineers, and entrepreneurs.

We're thrilled to support GreenLite Technologies' public launch, and their $8M in Seed funding, along with with LiveOak Venture Partners and Chicago Ventures. 

Congratulations to James Gallagher, Benjamin Allen, Craig Martin, Mike D., Eilís Cunningham, Alex Sassoon, Winnie Tsao, Mandee Glasgo, and the whole GreenLite Technologies team!
