Why we built GreenBuy
We started with a simple observation in Atlanta: most organizations already know efficiency upgrades exist — the blocker is paying for them and getting them approved.
01
The problem we kept hearing
Restaurants, churches, and nonprofits want LEDs, HVAC controls, and refrigeration upgrades. Alone, they lack leverage and incentive navigation.
02
What we built
GreenBuy forms Investment Pods — grouped buyers with similar upgrades — then estimates group pricing, screens incentives, and generates a vendor-ready RFQ.
03
Where we're headed
This demo is our MVP for Atlanta. Next: ShareLoop for shared assets, then city-by-city launch with local vendor competition.
The app
GreenBuy takes one building input, matches it into an Investment Pod, compares solo vs. group economics, and outputs a board-ready impact receipt plus vendor RFQ — all source-backed and demo-ready in under three minutes.
