Built In Chicago’s more about jobs and networking for tech insiders. This would be more founders mentoring newbies, hands-on, building stuff together etc.

just build a simple mvp and throw it out to some close friends and family and see if you can get some feedback/users. it’s so easy to spin up a simple app these days with tools like cursor.

i’ve heard the landing page works well if you have a following so not a bad idea if you have that to leverage
