Do you have a “moonshot” idea or an existing business you’d like to expand? Or maybe you have a product or business idea scribbled down on a napkin or notebook, but that's as far as you've gotten?!

If you answered YES to either question above, join us for Moonshot's 6th Annual Rural Arizona Pitch Competition for entrepreneurs and business owners (aka, a showcase like you see on ABC's Shark Tank)

For 2025, Moonshot is expanding the pitch tour into 20 communities across rural Arizona. The Yavapai College SBDC will be working with entrepreneurs and supporting pitch events in Wickenburg (4/17), Quad Cities (4/24), and Verde Valley (5/15).

Entrants receive coaching, training, business education, and pitch practice opportunities from the expert team of certified business analysts at the Yavapai College SBDC.

No cost, confidential coaching, and mentorship are offered for each participant for the events as well as ongoing after the pitch tour is over. The final state competition will be held in Prescott on October 18th, 2025.

Participation is FREE OF CHARGE, thanks to our local sponsors.


The Yavapai College SBDC will be supporting 3 Pitch Tour Stops this year. Register for these events at the following links:
