When we founded Build It Up, we dreamed of seeing it grow. It's exciting to follow an association like Build It Up, which over time has become a true company, with many students, young professionals and top managers dedicating their time voluntarily, where every board and every team member strive to leave the next generation a better, more important, and more beautiful association than the one they inherited. It's a unique mix of entrepreneurship, management, and a sense of duty towards future generations that has led to the excellence we are, and it’s just the beginning.
