About Build in El Salvador

BIES emerged as a solution to the struggles of entrepreneurship in an unfamiliar country, and the pressures of having to navigate the journey alone.

What began as an informal gathering of entrepreneurs and friends became a thriving network of builders, investors, vendors, peers, and government officials coordinating on projects and contributing to the growth and revitalization of El Salvador.
