We want you to stand-up and start-up!


A lot of awesome people seem to have awesome ideas, but never take it to the next step. What a shame, what a waste! Imagine how different the world would be if all your brilliant ideas could become reality.

That’s why we at CreativeClass invite you to share your ideas at our casual ‘open mic’ nights. The least you’ll get out of this is direct feedback, a chance to meet fellow creative minds and interesting network connections. But, if you’re really up to something, you might even end up getting a €2.500 boost to further develop your idea. Who knows where this might lead! World domination?

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring people to the 'Open Mic' nights?

Yes, bring as many people if you like for moral support. We make sure there are interesting entrepreneurs in the audience who can 'discover' you.

What is the best way to present my idea?

You can get creative with your presentation or just keep it simple. Your presentation should contain a few key questions the jury will have like: who are you, what is your idea, why will your idea revolutionize the world as we know it, who will be your customers, how will this idea make you and your potential investors rich, etc.

Are there any requirements to register?

Nope, just fill out the form on this website.

Just want to attend the Stand-up Start-up nights? Great idea!

It sure wil be an interesting evening filled with inspiring people and ideas. You definitely have the chance to meet other entrepreneurs and creative minds. And have a drink (or two).

CreativeClass is a Euregional network organization for creative minds with a simple goal: stimulating entrepreneurs to be more creative and creatives to be more entrepreneurial.

We strive to reach this goal by organizing workshops and events like TEDx Eutropolis, PechaKucha, YTLF, Manic Mondays,... throughout the region.

We believe that creative minds are the future, but might need a little help from time to time. Stand-up Start-up is one of the projects that does the trick.
