Silicon Oasis Pitch Night: Defense & Aerospace Edition
Join us February 25 for a special Silicon Oasis Pitch Night in partnership with the Defense Innovation OnRamp Hub: Arizona— our official Defense & Aerospace Pillar — spotlighting startups building mission-driven technologies that strengthen national security, industrial capacity, and dual-use innovation.
This evening brings together founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders shaping the future of defense and aerospace across Arizona.
Selected companies will deliver 5–7 minute pitches followed by live Q&A from an expert panel of investors and industry professionals, plus curated audience questions. Expect 3–5 high-caliber startups presenting real-world technologies with commercial and defense applications.
Before and after the pitches, connect with Arizona’s defense tech community — founders, capital partners, engineers, operators, and builders all in one room.
Whether you’re an investor seeking frontier opportunities, a founder looking for exposure and feedback, or a supporter of mission-driven innovation, this is where Arizona’s defense ecosystem convenes.
Hosted by the Silicon Oasis Initiative — uniting Arizona’s startup ecosystem.
