AZ Disruptors Provides Funding For Startups
Let's face it, many people have great ideas… but how many people have the funds required to turn that idea into reality? For those startups and entrepreneurs looking for a little assistance to get going, AZ Disruptors might be just the opportunity you're looking for.
If you have a product, prototype, or idea for licensed software, a web-based application or a smart phone app, AZ Disruptors would like to help you develop it. Or, if you want to be employed by a startup, partner with a startup, invest in a startup, or participate as a mentor or advisor, they'd like to hear from you as well.
The Details
In addition to funding Blogic, and Member Desk last year, AZ Disruptors is looking to fund up to 5 more startups this year.
If you apply, be prepared to move to Phoenix (if you're not already here) to complete the program.
You Give:
- Four months of your life
- 10% of your company
You Get:
- Access to mentors
- $20,000 cash
