The Moonshot Pitch Competition
Whether you're launching a startup or expanding an existing business, this high-energy competition connects entrepreneurs with the tools, connections, and confidence to take their vision to the next level.
Do you have a “Moonshot” idea —
or a business you’re ready to grow?
Maybe you’ve sketched out a product or business idea
on a napkin or in a notebook…
but haven’t taken the next step yet.
If that sounds like you, join us for the
Moonshot Annual Rural Arizona Pitch Competition.
This pitch competition gives entrepreneurs and business owners the chance to present their ideas, gain feedback, and compete for opportunities to move their business forward — think of it as Rural Arizona’s version of Shark Tank.
The SBDC is offering helpful resources, links, tools, and instructional videos to support effective business plan writing and pitch deck creation for any business, whether just starting out, seeking to access capital, or even competing in a Pitch Competition.
Entrants receive coaching, training, business education, and pitch practice opportunities from the expert team of certified business analysts at the Yavapai College SBDC.
No cost, confidential coaching, and mentorship are offered for each participant for the events as well as ongoing after the pitch tour is over.
