Interested in launching a startup built around breakthrough University of Arizona technology? Join this information session to learn about the Venture Catalyst Program, a selective initiative that connects experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and commercialization leaders with curated University of Arizona innovations that have strong market potential.
During the session, you'll learn how participants are matched with pre-vetted technologies, receive mentorship and commercialization support, and compete for up to $75,000 in milestone-based de-risking funding to validate technical and market opportunities. We'll also cover the Venture Bootcamp experience, customer discovery process, and pathways to potential seed investment through Tech Launch Arizona's affiliated fund.
Technology opportunities span a wide range of sectors, including AI & Software, Biotech, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Optics & Photonics, Advanced Materials, Aerospace, Energy Systems, AgTech, and Quantum Technologies.
Whether you're an entrepreneur looking for your next venture, an experienced operator interested in commercialization, or a founder seeking access to breakthrough technologies, this session will provide an overview of the program, application process, and upcoming Fall 2026 cohort.
Join us at 9:00 am MST on September 15, 2026. Learn more, meet the Venture Catalyst team, and get your questions answered. This meeting will be held via Zoom.
