Network & Connect with BUiLT

BUiLT has the mission to unite with others in tech

“I attended the BUiLT September 21, 2023 event in Atlanta which was co-hosted with Cyversity and ISC2.

I was nervous about attending, but I was immediately welcomed by so many others in the group. The keynote speaker took the time to address me directly too.

While I am an admitted introvert, once I got over my initial nervousness, I started talking to others. We swapped LinkedIn contacts and phone numbers, and I’m so happy I made the drive to attend. At the event, I learned it is invaluable to network and stay connected in tech.

Thank you BUiLT.”

Together Let's Open the Doors

Technology is an enabler to every day life, but also for individual people and their communities. The wealth generated by lucrative careers in tech flows into the communities, churches, and children’s education for the people who are fortunate to get into and thrive in career fields like cybersecurity, data science, and software development.

For far too long the doors to get into, advance in, and lead and own technology enterprises have been closed to people with dark skin. Together, we can hold the doors open for everyone.

Support Diversity in Tech

Donations to BUiLT help us continue our efforts to improve the representation of Black people in tech. With your help we can offer support and services to get more people into the tech field, assist more people in advancing in tech, and aid Black tech entrepreneurs / start ups.
