The Habitat AI Startup Night
Three to four hours. From blank page to live demo.
The same format every time, so it works in any room, on any campus, run by us or by a certified facilitator.
- Step 1
Walk in with anything.
An idea, a vague itch, or nothing at all. We open by showing how fast you can build now, then put real problems on the table.
- Step 2
Find your team.
A guided formation round turns a room of strangers into small teams around the ideas they actually care about.
- Step 3
Sharpen the idea into a spec.
Using the Habitat canvas, teams pin down who it is for, the real pain, and the smallest thing worth building tonight.
- Step 4
Build with AI.
Teams research, design, and ship a prototype with the same AI tools professionals use. Facilitators keep momentum.
- Step 5
Demo it for real.
Every team presents a working prototype to the room and a small jury. The university leaves with proof, photos, and a recap.
What builders say
“All my expectations were surpassed. I had already used Lovable before, but thanks to the framework I was able to fully focus on a demo that I actually pitched to an investor.”
Mirkea V.Sales manager, Ghent
“I had been looking for the perfect co-founder for over a year. Turns out he was just sitting next to me at a Habitat night.”
Harold RoegiersSales coach, Ghent
The team
Three founders. One playbook. Campus to demo night.
We run the format, ship the platform, and show up in the room when it matters. Hover a portrait to see the person behind the program.

Ops
One format, everyone wins
AI-native programming your students actually show up for.
- Tangible outputs every time: prototypes, demos, photos, and a recap report you can share.
- No internal build. We bring the format, the platform, and the people.
- Repeatable every semester, so entrepreneurship stops being a one-off event.
Not just a workshop
The whole event runs on Habitat.
Registration, team formation, the build canvas, demo submissions, and the recap report the university actually wants. One platform carries the night, and the thinking between sessions.
That is what lets facilitators run it without us in the room, and what makes it recur every semester.
