Built In is a network of local, niche online communities for digital tech entrepreneurs. We currently operate BuiltInChicago.com, BuiltInColorado.com and BuiltInLA.com and will be rapidly expanding into other markets in 2014 and beyond.  As a seed-funded startup, we are growing like crazy and need a dynamic digital marketer to help us grow.
