Exclusive: Camino Lands $3M as Digital Permitting Rises

Camino, a startup that makes permitting and licensing software for government, had a big year in 2020 as governments scrambled to move paper-based, in-person work online.
The company has parlayed that growth into a $3 million funding round from investors, led by previous investor Storm Ventures.
“They’ve been heads down, (but) they had a great year,” said Frederik Groce, a partner at Storm Ventures. “We got excited by some of the underlying traction … gov tech as a whole had a pretty good 2020, in terms of governments having to reach out to those early stage software vendors to solve a lot of different problems.”
