There’s something especially powerful about rural entrepreneurship! From Yuma and Douglas to Prescott, Kingman, Casa Grande, Bullhead City, Sierra Vista, and communities across Arizona, entrepreneurs aren’t just building businesses. They’re creating jobs, expanding opportunity, and helping ensure the next generation can build a future in the communities they call home. We were proud to join Moonshot AZ in celebrating its 25th anniversary and the culmination of this year’s Rural Arizona Pitch Tour. A special thank you to Scott Hathcock and the entire Moonshot team for their years of leadership, partnership, and commitment to strengthening Arizona’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. We also want to congratulate the 20 outstanding businesses that competed and are helping shape the future of Arizona’s rural economy. Arizona’s economic success extends far beyond our major metropolitan areas. Every day, innovators and entrepreneurs in communities across the state are proving that big ideas can come from anywhere. Congratulations to the Innovation awardee, MycoEarth Kathryn Crew, the Lifestyle awardee, Green Repack, the Crowd Favorite awardee OncoNexus, and all the finalists! #Arizona #Entrepreneurship #RuralArizona #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment @moonshotarizona by @azcommerce
