Why create an account?
Put your startup in front of the people who can fund it, join it, or mentor it.
- Students: sign up with your @illinois.edu email to list your startup and get a founder profile.
- Investors and collaborators: sign up with any email to see who's behind each startup.
New or returning, it's the same step: we'll email you a one-time sign-in code. No password needed.
We emailed . Enter the code from that email below. (Clicking the link in the email works too.)

List a startup
Green tags on a listing mean the team still needs this, not that they already are a co-founder, intern, or mentor. Leave blank if they are not recruiting.
Submissions are reviewed before they appear in the directory.
Claim an older listing
Listed a startup before accounts existed? Enter its name and the password you set. It'll be linked to your account and you'll edit it from there. You can do this once per listing.

About Built At Illinois
Why it exists
Student startups at Illinois are spread across clubs, group chats, and hackathons. If you're not in the right room, you never hear about them. Built At Illinois puts them in one place so founders can be found by the people who can fund them, join them, or mentor them.
How it works
Founders sign up with an @illinois.edu email and list their startup. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. Investors, mentors, and students can browse for free, and sign in with any email to see who's behind each startup.
Your privacy
Your email is never shown to anyone. Founder names and links are only visible to signed-in members, and profiles only appear once someone has a live listing.
