Wait, Dane Built Sitehunt? Here’s What 500+ Demos Taught Him.

Hey Econ Dev Show crew,

Most of you know me as the voice behind the podcast and newsletter. What you might not know is that I also built Sitehunt: the AI-powered property intelligence and RFI platform my team and I have been obsessing over for the last two years. In that time we’ve hosted 500+ demos with communities of every size, and the product has leveled up dramatically from the scrappy “not very smart” tool we launched with.

Here’s what’s new (and why I’m shouting it from the rooftops):

- Your property data cleans itself up. Upload spreadsheets, PDFs, or GIS layers and Sitehunt normalizes everything, adds utilities/zoning/workforce layers, tracks refresh schedules, and lets you override data locally with full audit trails.

- RFIs go from days to hours. Drop in a request, the AI extracts criteria, scores every site, flags gaps for follow-up, and assembles branded response packets: maps, stats, and narratives included. No more Frankensteined spreadsheets.

- Maps + portals without extra software. The internal Map Explorer, public portals, spec sheets, and labor-shed reports now all pull from the same enriched source, so marketing stories stay consistent.

- Coalitions work in sync. Regional and state programs can spin up partner instances, coordinate multi-jurisdiction RFIs, and publish aggregated inventory while each local EDO stays in control.

If you kicked Sitehunt’s tires early on, back when it was more spreadsheet than superpower, let’s reconnect. I’ll bring the latest build, you bring your gnarliest property list or RFI, and we’ll run through it live.
