Silicon Oasis Launch Event - Venture On One Year Anniversary Rebrand
Venture On Is Transforming!
Almost one year ago to the day, Venture On launched with the purpose of helping centralize the tech ecosystem, mitigate founder isolation, and educate early-stage tech builders in the state. After an incredible year of connecting Arizona's tech founders, investors, and operators, we recognized something essential was missing: Arizona’s builders deserve a spotlight that truly highlights their work. So, Venture On is evolving, and we’re excited to unveil:
🌵Silicon Oasis🌵
— a rebranded, community-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to celebrating Arizona's tech scene. Join us for an evening to remember as we officially launch!
What's Changing?
Silicon Oasis is now much more than its previous mission, while still maintaining a laser focus on helping Arizona's tech builders. We're not taking anything away, but adding a game-changing media arm to showcase the amazing founders driving Arizona’s tech ecosystem forward. Through video podcasts, social media highlights, more consistent community, education, pitch events, and more, Silicon Oasis will be Arizona’s biggest cheerleader, shining a light on everyone committed to building here. We're here to support, not compete, fostering connections and pushing our tech ecosystem forward.
