If it’s true that you become who you surround yourself with, then being a Creators member is invaluable. Join Creators to become part of a talent community where students with various backgrounds, levels of experience, and perspectives are solving real problems in student-owned startups! Not everyone in Creators starts a business, but we're all builders, designers, or problem-solvers in some way. And Creators makes it easy to build real relationships while collaborating on cool, impactful solutions.

Women in Entrepreneurship
WE exists to inspire, support, and assist female students across campus to pursue and achieve entrepreneurial ambitions. WE also responds to data showing that women don’t currently have the same access or response to entrepreneurship opportunities as do men, but society and business directly benefit from female contributions.
Perfect for women seeking a community of other like-minded creators, or men looking to understand how to better support women and be more diversity competent! Get invites to exclusive meet-ups with speakers/founders, retreats, workshops, access to female mentors, and more.
WE
INCLUDES NEW HANGOUT SPOT
Where we connect, grab complementary dirty sodas, hold our members-exclusive events, and work (on building things). Access to The Slab comes with your Creators membership.
PSA: COMMITMENT REQUIRED
Creators’ biggest value add is community. We charge a $20 BYU “club fee” not because it covers much of the merch, food, events, and other perks that come with your membership, but because we hope it helps you commit to getting the most out of Creators. It’s better for everyone when you’re an active, contributing participant.
