You are not alone with BUiLT
BUiLT has the mission to achieve racial equity in tech
“I attended the BUILT 2nd Annual Houston Black Tech Symposium mixer at Wolfgang Puck…..such an amazing event!! I never knew that I would be served a “Lox Pancake.” (Dee-lish!) I had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing, talented, tech changemakers (https://lnkd.in/g6ZpBKpQ). I truly learned a wealth of information and I feel inspired to know that I am not ‘the only one’ in the room of decisions makers.”

Professional networking is important
Blacks in tech and their allies need (just like all other professionals) to network with others to further their careers, find new job opportunities, find co-founders, and find customers for their new emerging companies.
Sometimes, you may just need a listening ear.

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.
