If you answered YES, please join us for Quad Cities Annual AZ Pioneer Pitch competition for entrepreneurs (aka, a showcase like you see on ABC's Shark Tank)!
Also, the first place winner of the Quad Cities Pioneer Pitch Competition will go on to compete in our state-wide finals competition for a $10,000 cash prize. The event, which also honors successful Moonshot entrepreneurs, will be held in Flagstaff in July 2023.
