When a company or local government wants to build something — an EV depot, a rural hospital, a factory — and that project qualifies for grants or tax credits, they still face a wall of overlapping permits, approvals, and compliance requirements from multiple agencies at once. No one can hold it all in their head. Projects stall. Deadlines pass. Money expires.
| Project | The Struggle | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| $450K spent EV Fleet Depot |
18 months: NEVI + utility approvals + city permits + California incentives. Zero chargers installed. | STALLED |
| $600K spent Coal Transition |
24 months: EPA permits + federal POWER grants + county approvals + energy tax credits. Zero progress. | STALLED |
| $12M locked Rural Hospital |
Federal funding fully approved — but CMS, HRSA, state licensing, and Buy America created an impossible compliance maze. | STALLED |
| $200M avail. CHIPS Act Factory |
Tax credits in place — but DOC, IRS, state incentives, environmental, and prevailing wage rules conflict. Losing $50K/day. | STALLED |
Skumu watches every rule, writes every application, and stands guard over every dollar — from the moment a project kicks off to final closeout.
Skumu sits in the middle of every dollar that flows from government programs to actual projects. The revenue model is aligned with client outcomes:
Skumu, and its partners, win when clients win.
Government money flows under every administration — the programs just shift. Skumu is built to serve all of it, making this a non-partisan infrastructure play, not a policy bet.
| Bipartisan Always | Manufacturing · Healthcare · Infrastructure | $1.3T |
| Blue Administration | Climate · Housing · Transit | $950B |
| Red Administration | Coal · Defense · Agriculture | $525B |
With just 1–3% market capture over 10 years, the revenue opportunity is $28B–$84B.
Continuously ingested across every federal, state, and local program, with conflict detection built in. Years in the making.
A proprietary scoring system of relationships with agency contacts. Government work runs on people, not just paperwork.
Data from a coal transition project improves EV charging logic. A CHIPS Act factory trains the rural hospital workflow.
Developed with data from Charge Collective. Every decision grounded in actual compliance problems, not theoretical scenarios.
The first 18–24 months are about proving Skumu isn't just an EV story — it's a platform that works across infrastructure, manufacturing, healthcare, real estate, and agriculture.
