About

Moonshot is an Arizona-based 501c3 nonprofit established in 2001 who believes in democratizing entrepreneurialism. No matter where you live, you should have access to the same entrepreneurial resources as those who live in major cities. We believe in founders who wish to not only better the lives of their own family but those within their community as well. 

Our MISSION is two-fold:

1. To help moonshot-thinking subject matter experts bring products and services to market.
2. To help cities in rural Arizona and beyond develop entrepreneurial ecosystems that create jobs.

When we were looking to rebrand our entrepreneurial development program in 2017 (formerly called NACET), we had an epiphany. The role Flagstaff played in the Apollo moon landings was not unlike what Moonshot gives to business startups.

We provide expertise and support to increase the odds of entrepreneurial success by taking ambitious (even radical) business concepts and surrounding them with business acumen, experts, and data.

Moonshot is breaking new ground—and helping more startups launch and succeed—throughout Arizona and beyond.
