About Resolv

Resolv is a software company that has developed an AI-powered platform to automate the process of finding and filing for clean energy rebates. Founded in 2024 by Sam Ruderman and Shane Smith, the company is headquartered in Truckee, California. The idea for Resolv stemmed from Ruderman's direct experience with the cumbersome and complicated paperwork involved in the rebate process, having spent years helping contractors navigate it. He and Smith connected over the significant amount of money being left unclaimed by contractors due to these complexities.

The company's primary clients are home and HVAC contractors. The platform is designed to streamline their operations by reducing the administrative burden associated with rebate applications, a process that can take hours for a single project. By scanning project documents like invoices and photos, Resolv's AI identifies and completes all relevant rebate forms, allowing contractors to submit applications with a single click. This enables contractors to provide lower quotes to homeowners by incorporating potential savings from local, state, and federal incentive programs, such as TECH Clean California and the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA). The platform serves contractors across the country and also offers solutions for utility companies and program implementers to manage their rebate programs.

Since its founding, Resolv has raised $595K in funding from investors including I2BF Global Ventures, Pre-Seed to Succeed, Redbud VC, and Yellow Rocks!. The platform is live and has processed over $10 million in rebates, serving dozens of contractors and saving significant staff time. Resolv's business model is based on simplifying the rebate process, thereby accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient products and contributing to building decarbonization.
