For millions of tech professionals nationwide, Built In is the best place to learn about the industry, build connections and carve out futures at companies they believe in.

Built In was founded in 2011 on a love of Chicago, its people and tech — as a social network and blogging platform. We gave local startups a sense of community and platform on which to tell their stories.

We learned that startups were attracting talent just by participating in our community. Refocusing our energies, we built a new model for tech recruitment to harness the power of content and community.
