Flagstaff 2021

Come show us what you've got, Flagstaff, Arizona!

Do you have a “moonshot” idea or an existing business you’d like to expand? Even just a product or business idea you've scribbled down on a napkin?

If you answered YES, please join us for Flagstaff's 3rd Annual Moonshot AZ Pioneer Pitch competition for entrepreneurs (aka, a showcase like you see on ABC's Shark Tank)! Participants will be competing to win up to $8,000 in cash prizes as well as the chance to become an affiliate of Moonshot at NACET for a year. In addition, you'll get feedback from top industry experts and exposure for your business or product.

First Place = $5,000 cash
Second Place = $2,000 cash
Third Place = $1000 cash

** All pitch contestants and/or businesses must reside within the Greater Flagstaff, AZ area and must be APS customers in order to qualify for the cash prizes. **

AND if your product or service falls into a category that helps the environment, turns waste into product or reduces greenhouse gas, you will be entered to win ADDITIONAL cash prizes totally up to $30,000 in April of 2022 as part of the Innovate Waste & Carbon Neutrality Challenge! Learn more about the kick-off here.

The winner of the Flagstaff Pioneer Pitch Competition will go on to compete in our state-wide competition for a $10,000 cash prize. The event, which also honors successful Moonshot entrepreneurs, will be held in Flagstaff at Little America Hotel on June 17, 2022.

We can’t all be astronauts, but we can be pioneers. This is your year to become a moonshot pioneer!

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED; HOWEVER, CHECK OUT THE INNOVATE WASTE & CARBON NEUTRALITY CHALLENGE THAT IS JUST KICKING OFF! SEE DETAILS BELOW.
