Bonus Episode: Trunk Tools CEO Sarah Buchner is Building Trunk Tools to Simplify the $13T Construction Industry

Sarah Buchner is the Founder and CEO of Trunk Tools (https://trunktools.com/). She is a one-of-a-kind founder, having spent her young life as a carpenter in Austria and then working her way up the ranks of the construction industry. She’s also earned several graduate degrees including an MS in Civil Eng, a PHD in Data Science and an MBA from Stanford.

Trunk Tools is an AI Tool for the $13T construction industry aimed at enhancing project management and addressing the skilled Labor shortage.

We wanted to have Sarah on to share her experience in building a vertical AI tool - specifically: where AI will have the biggest impact on construction and behind the scenes of how they’ve built tools like TrunkText and TrunkScheduler to massively reduce the amount of rework in construction.
