The PermitMe team is proud to be a part of the Houston, Texas startup community and honored to be mention by January Advisors in their final blog of the year! We love working and seeing everyone in Rice Village!

Friends, Entrepreneurs, Business folks: It all comes down to today. PermitMe’s goal is to promote economic growth via a smarter permitting process. Yeah, that’s bold. But we didn't get to where we are as a country by being timid. Help us win the Global Startup Battle & put Texas’ startup & small business scene on the map. Vote here http://bit.ly/RWjdxM.

Here’s how you can help:
1. Take 30 seconds to VOTE for us. There is a RED VOTE button to click, don't just click the like button under the video!
2. Copy & paste our status as yours & ask your friends to VOTE for us.
3. It takes a village to raise a child. It takes a community & a nation to foster the entrepreneurial spirit. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. And without you, the PermitMe team wouldn't have a fightin’ chance to make a difference. Thank you, friends!
