The AzFF Rolling Fund is launching soon! Check back to learn more.
This is for Arizona.
The Arizona Founders Fund is on a mission to help our community’s pioneers of innovation build lasting enterprises from day one.
To start and scale enterprises, founders need capital. But just as importantly, founders need other founders to join alongside and follow through the process of building those companies. Counsel, referrals, and dig-deep, hands-on support from successful past and present founders is a key part of the strategic value we deliver. In other words, we are more than a seed stage venture capital fund — we are a network of locally-minded founders committed to building world-changing companies.
Romi Dhillon
Founder & Managing Director
We’re more than just a seed stage fund. We’re a network of Arizona’s hardest working technology founders, committed to one another’s success.
Why Arizona?
The Arizona Founders Fund is Arizona’s first ever seed and early stage fund dedicated to its software startups, which means we get asked “Why Arizona?” all the time.
