About BuildShare
BuildShare is a tech platform company that combines capital formation with a new construction system designed to reduce the time and cost of building. For the past two years we have grown alongside builder business owners (BBOs) through joint ventures. The BBO Expansion is our next phase: alongside joint ventures, we will now acquire companies and add commercial and government/infrastructure branches to home building. BuildShare is fully remote.
