What BUILD does
BUILD is a non-profit organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in New York that operates an entrepreneurship education program for underserved high school students. According to aggregated firmographic data, BUILD has between 501 and 1,000 employees and maintains a public-facing website at build.org. As a non-profit entity, BUILD is funded through philanthropic donations, grants, educational partnerships, and corporate sponsorships rather than commercial revenue; no pricing model, GTM motion, or detailed financial metrics are disclosed in the available data, and the primary "product" is the entrepreneurship curriculum and program delivery to students across multiple U.S. high schools.
The aggregated dataset also contains information about a separate program also referred to as "BUILD" — specifically a Texas A&M University BUILD program that in April 2025 conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a mobile medical clinic in Sarita, Texas. This entity is described as a university academic/medical initiative within Texas A&M's College of Medicine, developed in collaboration with multiple university units to deliver healthcare and mental health services to approximately 400 rural Texas residents via a shipping-container-converted mobile clinic named in honor of Clayton Jack Kennedy. The two "BUILD" entities appear to be distinct (different geography, mission, parent organization, and headcount footprint), and this conflict in the source data is itself a material finding for any investor relying on this aggregation.
Given BUILD's non-profit status, there is no commercial revenue model in the traditional sense. The customer base described by the firmographic data is underserved high school students across the United States, while the Texas A&M BUILD program — if treated as the same entity — would serve a single rural Texas community of roughly 400 residents. No AI/ML capabilities, technology stack, or product roadmap is documented in either thread of the input data.
