Savannah-based Green Badger LLC, which successfully launched the Green Badger LEED Documentation App at the Greenbuild Expo in November 2013, has teamed up with SLAAM Ventures, a New York and Savannah-based seed capital firm, to accelerate Green Badger’s product development. This product acceleration will allow Green Badger to better meet the needs of the LEED marketplace, which has been demanding a product that will simplify and reduce cost of the LEED documentation process. SLAAM’s investment helps position Green Badger, a four-month old company, to be the leader in the rapidly growing LEED certification business environment. 

Using the Green Badger software, LEED professionals including architects, designers, owners, builders and subcontractors, can manage all of their LEED construction credits right from their smartphone or tablet, whether at the drafting table or in the field. The combination of the mobile 

app and cloud-based project management is a truly disruptive technology to impact the LEED process and will allow local, regional and global teams to share data, metrics and project management in a fully scalable way.

In addition to the mobile application and cloud-based tools, Green Badger will leverage the capital provided by SLAAM to add additional functionality and launch a number of new software solutions to facilitate LEED documentation and sustainable design processes. Green Badger’s trade tools (a residential version will be available during Q2) are appropriate for general contractors, architects, LEED professionals, developers, property managers and construction companies that are seeking an optimum solution for managing the LEED construction process from start to finish. The Green Badger LEED Documentation App can be downloaded at the ITunes and Android stores as well as the Green Badger website. 

“I am thrilled to have SLAAM on board as a partner in the truest sense of the term in our efforts to simplify the LEED construction documentation process,” said Tommy Linstroth, CEO of Green Badger. “Their financial contribution will help us rapidly deploy a host of new features and capabilities across a variety of market segments. Their deep business acumen and experience has proven invaluable as we break new ground in the green building process.”

“With Green Badger we found a market segment, product and an entrepreneur that aligns perfectly with our mission at SLAAM.” stated SLAAM principal John O. Morisano. “Green Badger represents our second investment since SLAAM’s inception in October 2013 which is indicative of our highly selective screening process. Green Badger has the combination of being a first-to-market and disruptive product. Tommy knows his customer and his commitment and work ethic are unmatched. We were not going to let this one pass us by.”

2014 plans for the Green Badger include a presentation schedule in major US cities kicking off with the MiaGreen Conference in Miami, FL in late February and the Associated General Contractors Convention in Las Vegas, NV in early March.
