Article Title: In Her Own Words: Sarah Buchner put her Ph.D. in AI and Data Science to Work in Construction
Excerpt:
Dr. Sarah Buchner didn’t start out looking for women investors, but she found them in her most recent funding round. The collaboration has been transformative.
I did not enter the field of construction voluntarily. In rural Austria, I grew up in difficult circumstances with a carpenter as a father.
In order to have a better life, I began working on job sites with him when I was 12. At the time, I didn’t realize those early experiences planted the seed for a career that would not just merge traditional construction with cutting-edge technology, but also be something I deeply enjoy.
Fast forward to today, and I am the CEO and founder of Trunk Tools, the preeminent AI platform for the built environment. Trunk Tools is making information available to the right people at the right time, avoiding construction delays and rework that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. We deploy solutions that streamline construction data management, automate tedious work, and reduce waste to let builders build.
