OUR TEN-YEAR JOURNEY: how we got here

  • 2015 - 2018

    After being based in SF and Austin, we launched in Tucson as Southern Arizona’s first startup accelerator.

  • 2019 - 2020

    We then expanded to Phoenix to help develop this rapidly growing technology hub and to take our mission state-wide.

  • 2021 - 2023

    During COVID, we saw the need for remote innovation and transformed into a 100% online program with a global reach.

  • 2024 and beyond

    After a full year of technical discovery and development, we’ve now relaunched as an AI-driven startup studio.
