Why We Started Infilla
“Planners do the toughest jobs in government with the least support. Better tools mean faster approvals and more housing built.”
Permitting is one of the biggest barriers to building housing. As a lifelong renter frustrated by the housing crisis, Jenny saw firsthand how unpredictable and lengthy the process can be — sometimes taking years with no certainty.
Spending 1000+ hours with 300+ planners in 50+ jurisdictions, she discovered how staff manage competing expectations with outdated tools, balancing diplomacy and precision in an incredibly tough job.
We built Infilla to support these people — giving planning departments modern tools to work faster, collaborate better, and serve their communities. Today, we’re proud to partner with agencies nationwide to help accelerate approvals and deliver positive change — and we’re just getting started.
