ARIZONA'S PREMIER ENTREPRENEURSHIP & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 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​​ 
  • Chandler, AZ - Tech-based entrepreneurial program called Chandler Innovations for the City of Chandler
  • Sedona, AZ - Virtual entrepreneurial program serving Sedona entrepreneurs
  • Tucson, AZ - Workforce development program for industrial sewing​ - AZ Stitch Lab
  • All of Arizona - Virtual Moonshot Member program 
    ​
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. ​​

WHAT MAKES MOONSHOT UNIQUE?

WE DON'T TAKE EQUITY 
We are a non-profit organization which means ​we don't take equity from the companies we assist. ​​
WE WORK WITH EXPERTS
We are looking for experts in their fields (in all sectors) who need assistance with scaling a company or bringing an invention or product idea to market but don't have the business acumen needed to make that happen. 
CAPITAL 
We don't provide capital but
​we do help companies find connections to capital. 
CONTACTS & CUSTOMERS
We have a vast network of contacts in a variety of industries who will help you find your ideal customers and get to the next level. 
WE RENT OFFICE AND MANUFACTURING
SPACE ​TO ENTREPRENEURS 
We rent space in Flagstaff, AZ specifically designed for entrepreneurs who need light manufacturing space, office space, laboratory space, and more. ​*NOTE: Entrepreneurs do not need to reside at NACET to be a part of our program.
WE HELP CITIES 
LARGE AND SMALL
We help cities create entrepreneurial eco-systems within their towns through our Launchpad  partnership program and our upcoming events.
