StartupAZ Foundation

We help Arizona's most innovative startup companies improve their leadership, performance, and connections, while inspiring generosity and philanthropy within their communities.

Company building is not for the faint of heart. It requires grit, determination and passion. The best leaders know that building a company is more than just hiring a team and building products. It's about passion, commitment and generosity.

Generosity is at the core of what we do, supporting founders who are building high performing companies and paying it forward in our community.

Collectively, StartupAZ founders have created nearly 2,000 jobs and attracted $308M in venture capital investment to Arizona. With your help, we can continue to grow this!

Funds raised on April 4th will go towards our continued growth of the Key Leaders initiative, a quarterly leadership development program for StartupAZ Collective teams, designed to empower the next generation of Arizona leaders. The program serves those in leadership positions in People Ops, Talent Acquisition, Engineering, Product and Growth across 37 StartupAZ Collective companies.

Testimonials

"I call the StartupAZ Collective CEO therapy. It's hard to find other people who can relate to what you're going through mentally and emotionally. To be with a group that can say 'I went through the same thing last week' and to have that honesty has been super amazing'" Eli Chmouni, Founder and CEO of Neon
