BuiltIn’s mission is to unite thriving local tech communities by connecting local job seekers to innovative companies in their own backyard. To maintain full transparency with our community, we will outline our different content types and who maintains editorial control of each.

What is Non-Paid Content?

Built In employs writers to cover local tech innovation, blog about startup trends and report on breaking news. We welcome pitches and tips from all sources and pursue stories we deem fit for our readership. Inclusion in non-paid content is based on our own editorial discretion, regardless of any partnership we may have with a company featured or not featured therein. Built In maintains editorial control of all non-paid content, including publishing date and status, headline, text, company placement and photography.

This type of non-paid content includes:

• Breaking news, funding reports, original reporting, stories on local startups, Q&As with leaders in the community
• Curated lists of market-related news, events, and company roundups centered around a particular theme, including but not limited to: company location, industry, function, age, founder demographics, presence of open job listings, and more.
• 50 Startups to Watch
• Top 100 Companies Hiring

What is paid content?
