We help entrepreneurs build and scale successful companies. 


​For 20 years, we've been helping moonshot thinkers in Northern Arizona become business pioneers.  But don't take our word for it—take a look at what our Moonshot at NACET clients are saying:

  • “First we were in the incubator, then we moved into the accelerator, and now we’ve outgrown the accelerator,” said Kasprzyk in an exclusive interview with Flagstaff Business News. “If all [Moonshot at NACET] clients did that, there would be hundreds of jobs in Flagstaff that are not dependent on tourism. Success should be measured by jobs and money brought into the community.”  
    — Dan Kasprzyk, CEO Symple Surgical/Poba Medical 


  • "Moonshot isn’t just a series of informative meetings, but an intensive education that takes people with bold ideas and gives them the knowledge and know-how to turn these aspirations into practical commodities for the marketplace."​ 
    — Molly Spangler, Director of Economic Development, City of Sedona
​
  • "Our company, Novakinetics Aerosystems, was involved in the first Sharks in Space (pitch) competition and had a great time and learned a lot. They had really helpful coaches to refine the pitch and the pitch deck. It was great to meet other local entrepreneurs and see all the exciting ideas percolating in Northern AZ. Thank you Scott and the team for a fun and information packed weekend!"​
    ​— Holly Jaleski, pitch competition participant 2018

Client Success Stories

Symple Surgical Graduating from Moonshot at NACET with Honors 
Picture
Symple Surgical, Inc. is graduating from the Moonshot at NACET entrepreneurial program and relocating to Flagstaff Airport Airpark. The medical device company, which has been a client of both the city’s business incubator and accelerator programs since 2015, will quadruple the size of its office and manufacturing space, from 1,800 to 7,200 square feet.  

“Not only are we graduating, but we are graduating with honors,” said Daniel J. Kasprzyk, president and CEO of Symple Surgical, Inc., (SSI) and Poba Medical. Poba Medical was founded in 2016 as a second company to supply SSI’s need for catheter devices and intricate balloon assemblies.  
“We have created a business idea in under two years, proven the business model, grown strategically and now will scale to meet the overwhelming global demand for our products and services,” he added. 

“First we were in the incubator, then we moved into the accelerator, and now we’ve outgrown the accelerator,” said Kasprzyk in an exclusive interview with Flagstaff Business News. “If all [Moonshot at NACET] clients did that, there would be hundreds of jobs in Flagstaff that are not dependent on tourism. Success should be measured by jobs and money brought into the community.”
