Moonshot at NACET - Moonshot - Arizona's Premier Entrepreneurship Program

What is Moonshot?

Moonshot is an Arizona-based, 22 year-old 501c3 non-profit organization whose mission is to help subject matter experts bring products and services to market and help cities develop entrepreneurial eco-systems that create jobs. We believe that the best products aren’t dreamed up by the business class but rather the scientists, engineers, technologists, designers, and dreamers who bear the type of innovation that truly changes the world. And we believe that we can't all be astronauts, but we can all be moonshot-thinking pioneers.

Currently, we have campuses/entrepreneurial programs in the following cities:

Flagstaff, AZ - Incubator & Accelerator office and manufacturing space for companies that fall into these specific categories:
- Sustainable business/idea
- Technology sector
- Light Manufacturing
- Bio-tech and/or bio-engineering
- Purpose of job creation in greater Flagstaff
Sedona, AZ - Virtual entrepreneurial program serving Sedona entrepreneurs
Tucson, AZ - Workforce development program for industrial sewing - AZ Stitch Lab
Rim Country - Coming soon!
Winslow/I-40 Corridor - Coming soon!

But we're not just serving larger markets—we also work with entrepreneurs in smaller towns across the great state of Arizona. No matter where you hang your hat, we're here to help you bring your moonshot idea to market....and beyond.
