the largest community of builders, makers, and creatives at illinois

at buildillinois, we help ambitious students turn their boldest ideas into reality. we’ve thrown hackathons, fireside chats, retreats, and mixers for over 1000 people, creating opportunities for students to raise millions, get funded by accelerators like ycombinator and founders inc, and work at faang and startups like midjourney and superpower.
