AZ Accelerator was founded on a simple thesis: the most ambitious companies of the next decade will be built away from the coasts. Lower burn. Closer to customers. Built by operators who've shipped real things.
TSMC is investing $65B in Phoenix. Intel is doubling its Chandler footprint. ASU has been ranked America's most innovative university ten years running. Arizona's population is growing faster than any state in the country.
We back the founders building on top of all of it — in semiconductors, climate, water, healthtech, aerospace, and the AI infrastructure that ties them together. We invest $50k of services and $200k in perks for 5%, host you in Phoenix for 12 weeks, and connect you to the customers, capital, and talent that make this state work.
We're not a coastal accelerator with a satellite office. We're Arizonans, building Arizona.
