BuildRules Directory · Founding Professionals

Be part of BuildRules’ first professional cohort.

We are opening a limited first cohort by city and specialty. Founding status marks early participation; it does not change directory ranking. The limits below decrease only when an eligible company ownership claim is approved.

Founding status is free. It is not verification, licensing, municipal approval or paid placement.

Live availability

Real caps. No fake countdown.

A spot is awarded when BuildRules approves ownership of an eligible published profile. If a cohort fills first, the company keeps its normal directory profile but does not receive that founding marker.

How a spot is earned

Claim the business. We handle the cohort logic.

  1. 01
    Find or create your profile

    If the business is already listed, claim it instead of creating a duplicate.

  2. 02
    Prove ownership

    BuildRules reviews the ownership request. Ownership and verification remain separate.

  3. 03
    Receive the founding marker if space remains

    When the approved profile matches a recruiting city and specialty, the database awards the next available spot automatically.
