We can't all be astronauts, but we can all be pioneers. Let us help you.
​

Flagstaff, Arizona is known for training the Apollo astronauts. And we're quite proud of it. We also know those astronauts were assisted by a team on the ground called mission control. That's what we want to do for entrepreneurs. As Mission Control, we want to help the risk takers and change makers with big ideas. Even though we're currently restricted from meeting in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can still lend a hand using video conferencing technology.
 
Our Mission Control team, consisting of the successful entrepreneurs and business leaders listed below, are ready to help you turn your moonshot idea into a business. We're excited to launch this program virtually, making it easy for folks from all over the country to get guidance on their startup ideas during this time of social distancing. 
​
Here's how it works:
  • Please apply for the program by completing the form below. There is no fee to participate. 
  • Once we receive your application, we'll contact you to schedule a day to pitch to our mentors virtually using a video conferencing link. 
  • Your pitch can be up to five minutes long. 
  • After you pitch, our mentors (who aren't sharks) will provide feedback, guidance, and in some cases, assistance via contacts, etc. Everyone on our team is a caring, compassionate individual who has been at the idea stage and wants to help other entrepreneurs. Not all mentors will be on every video call.
