Join us in building the Southeast, together.

We connect and elevate entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem builders in the Southeast through our regionally-focused research, storytelling, and community building.

#BuildInSE

Build In SE was founded in 2018 with a mission to increase the number of startup success stories in the Southeast.

Build In SE currently defines the Southeast as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

We believe the Southeast is home to an unparalleled opportunity:

  • The region features $6.3 trillion of U.S. GDP - over 20% of the country’s output

  • The Southeast is growing at 4.3% CAGR (2020-2025), twice as quickly as the national average

  • Over half of the country’s top 10 fastest-growing metro areas are in the Southeast

Stay in the loop
