Mavericks will be recognized at a special ceremony at the BuiltWorlds Summit in Toronto in September!

2025 Application Deadline is April 30th

 

What does it take to be a Maverick?

Mavericks see opportunities where others don't.  They forge their own path.  They help shape a better industry.

Candidates are evaluated on their passion for making the industry better in a meaningful way, for the actions they have taken to move the industry forward, for their courage to forge their own path in the industry, and for their impact.

Candidates are not measured based on financial success or even on the ultimate success of their specific initiatives, but rather on their positive industry impact.

Candidates may be nominated in one of five categories:

  • Entrepreneurs (Starters of Businesses)
  • Industry Leaders (Often Industry CEOs or other Business Leaders)
  • Influence & Education (People in Media, Education, Government and other arenas who help inform and educate industry stakeholders)
  • Investors (Leaders from Venture, Private Equity, or other Finance Sectors Related to the Industry)
  • Technologists (Chief Technology Offices, Chief Information Officers, or leaders in technology development in other ways across the industry)

The Mavericks are selected by the Analyst Team at BuiltWorlds. Mavericks need not be members of BuiltWorlds to be eligible. If nominated to the List, Mavericks will be listed with their tile and organization affiliation at the time the list is published.

The dictionary defines a Maverick as:

Rebellious. Disruptive. Nonconformist.
Not afraid to take “an independent stand” in hope for a better world.

They are entrepreneurs, inventors, revolutionary leaders in a class of their own. This should conjure visions of Edison. Bezos. Einstein. Branson. The list is endless.

We’ve noticed mountains of top leader lists and awards in the industry but seemingly none of them have distilled the true disruptors and game-changers across the AEC and real estate. We’re here to do just that. With your help of course!

We’re looking for the Mavericks that are revolutionizing:

- Architecture & Design
- Cities & Infrastructure
- Construction
- Engineering
- Technology & Software
- Real Estate Development
- Venture & Finance
