CEO & Co-Founder of Fordje | Speeding up construction and electrification through city code clarification
Its official! I've started a software company to help cities and developers build faster by clarifying city codes. And I'd love your help! Know someone in city or county planning, permitting or development? I'd love to talk with them so we know we're building the right solution. Please reach out!
We’re Fordje, a startup leveraging AI to simplify city regulatory code access so municipalities, citizens and developers can build faster. Why does this matter? Construction project timelines have doubled over the last 40 years as regulatory code requirements have increased in complexity. Housing and electrification are moving fast and cities can’t keep up. The founders of Fordje have run into this problem again and again, so we are solving this problem in a new way: bringing cities, citizens and developers together with software that embeds city code interpretation into our product to clarify codes and their intentions. Want to learn more? Reach out! We’re talking with urban planners and developers to build great products. We'd love your insight and help!
This is really cool! A former colleague from graduate school is in the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico 's long-range planning department, would be more than happy to provide an introduction. Also, if you're ever looking for a user experience/product strategy person with govtech/utilities experience and subject matter experience in working with county permitting departments (former work exp. in Solar PV), that's me 😎
What an awesome update! So glad to see you thrive. Hope all is well.
Hey Gillian W. - good on you! The Smart Cities ecosystem could use your Big Brain and enthusiasm. Since I've only been in the public-facing software business for 15 years (god help me).... 😅 ... if I can save you any time or effort, let me know! Congrats / condolences, and welcome to Startup Land!
Bryan Copley might be able to help
Can't wait to see y'all develop!
This is awesome! Congrats!!
Congrats, Gillian.
First of all - how cool! Secondly, yes - I can connect you to planners. Let’s chat!
Huge congrats! A huge need and I have no doubt you guys are going to crush it.
