BuildTeam is a tech start-up with multiple projects under its management such as the [Minnowbooster](http://www.minnowbooster.net) and the [Steemvoter](http://www.steemvoter.com). The company focuses on providing sidechain services and custom applications that compliment the Steemit social networking ecosystem and other blockchain-based networks. The BuildTeam token (BT) is used to compensate the staff who can then bid for a percentage of the company's profits in STEEM through a monthly auction process or sell their tokens on the Bitshares DEX. Steem is distributed on a proportional basis depending on how much each participant bids.
