Welcome to Moonshot at NACET in Flagstaff, Arizona!
​

Picture
​​For the past 20 years, the Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NACET) campus has been a place where businesses get started and bring their ideas to life, put people to work in good jobs, and pour money into the regional economy.

After all these years, we're still helping Flagstaff entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses all the while attracting founders outside of Flagstaff to set up headquarters in our innovative, beautiful mountain city. 
What's the difference between NACET and Moonshot at NACET?
NACET is the incubator and accelerator campus that houses startups in Flagstaff, Arizona. Moonshot (at NACET) is the educational programming, mentorship, AZ Pioneer Pitch state-wide entrepreneur contest, and connections to capital world-wide. Moonshot is breaking new ground—and helping more startups succeed—throughout Arizona and beyond. ​

Why the name Moonshot? We chose the name Moonshot partly because of Flagstaff's rich history with the US Space Program and partly because every one of our entrepreneurs is a moonshot-thinking risk-taker.

A brief history of NACET...
​Years ago, the City of Flagstaff received two EDA Grants that helped fund construction of both campus buildings. The grant rules stipulate that only companies that fall into one or more of these categories can apply to rent space at NACET:
  • Sustainable business/idea
  • Technology sector
  • Light Manufacturing 
  • Bio-tech and/or bio-engineering
  • Purpose of job creation in greater Flagstaff​​ 
*NOTE: The City of Flagstaff approves applicants who have requested to rent space. Moonshot helps field and vet applicants. 

If your company/idea falls outside of the categories above, you will not be permitted to rent space at NACET; however, you can still apply to become Moonshot members who receive mentorship, education, connections to capital, and a network of valuable connections to grow and scale their company.
