Hello everyone. Tanner Weber here from Kansas City!!

Also thanks to @Sapir Ashkenazi because I copied your template. 🙂

About Me:
• Where you’re from: Small, rural community in Kansas. Currently located in the Kansas City area.
• Professional/Educational Background: B.S Architectural Eng. (University of Kansas) - Rock Chalk!
• Interesting/Fun Fact: I have a little 4 year old daughter and two labs at home so my family life is important and vital to everything I do. I spent 10 years as a Site Manager/Project Manager for a large design/build company. Traveling around the country for most of that time managing large industrial/commercial/federal projects.
What I’m working on:
• Current startup/company: Papertalk.ai is a voice-activated field reporting and automation platform for construction subcontractors. We enable them to use their voice to generate final documents, automating the transformation of spoken inputs into comprehensive reports and seamlessly integrating this information across various workflow platforms, enhancing efficiency and connectivity.
How I can help:
• Industry expertise: Construction/Engineering / AI - Prompt engineering, Use-Cases / Workflow Automation - Zapier / API Integrations
• Skillset strengths: Problem Solver through and through, strategic thinker, project management
Why I was interested in joining Gildre:
• I started my entrepreneurship journey 10-months ago. Going from a long corporate career to the startup founder lifestyle has been fulfilling, rewarding, etc.... but it can also be lonely and difficult. Having a community to express all of the misc. startup founder thoughts with others that are going through the same journey or have done it themselves... that is my main reason for joining.
Where I could use support:
• We just finalized pre-seed funding. Time to execute our 6-month, 12-month launch plans for growth. Advice, counseling focused around sales/marketing for this crucial post-funding window.

Nice to meet you, Tanner! We should talk and exchange insights and expertise as fellow founders. Btw I’d love to visit Kansas some day.
