If you’re a creative type with a smashing idea for a startup, it’s time to polish your pitch and enter it in this year’s Creative3 Pitch for your chance to secure funding and transform your dreams into reality. Creative3 Pitch, the brainchild of River City Labs and QUT Creative Enterprise Australia, is a breakfast event where finalists can pitch their startup idea to a roomful of investors, including Australia’s only dedicated Creative Enterprise Fund. It’s a fantastic opportunity to either get your business off the ground or take it to the next level, and it’s the only event in Australia that’s dedicated to connecting creative ventures to investors.

And if that isn’t enough to encourage your entry, here are some success stories: online made-to-order formal dress store Fame & Partners recently secured funding from the Creative Enterprise Fund and are now spreading their style-savvy inspiration far and wide as they sew up a storm of fabulous frocks. Two of the five finalists who pitched at last year’s Creative3 RiverPitch, See-Out and SwipeAds, have also gone on to secure early stage investment.

If you want the opportunity to pitch your idea for a profitable creative sector startup, apply through Creative3 Pitch today! Go here for eligibility and application information and to get those creative juices flowing. Applications close on 4 August, so get in quick!
