Invitation: Tucson Entrepreneurs & Innovators

Invitation: Tucson Entrepreneurs & Innovators

Needs Discovery Session

(Private, Invitation-Only Event)

Tucson talks a lot about supporting entrepreneurs, but founders’ real needs are often misunderstood or ignored. This session is different. It’s not another panel, lecture, or networking mixer. It’s a confidential working session designed to capture and act on founders’ needs.

  • No Lectures – no one talks at you.
  • Your Voice, Captured Privately – you’ll write your input on stickies. No names, no attribution. No pictures. No recordings.
  • Data Collection – all input is gathered and sorted for patterns.
  • Reflection & Discussion – we’ll reflect together on what emerges.
  • Action-Oriented Summary – findings will be summarized and shared to guide real ecosystem improvements.
  • Who said what will be held private.
  • Your candid input matters; we’re building trust in the process.
  • Target Timeline: Week of September 22nd
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Format: Facilitated session (not a lecture, not a panel)
  • Location & Date: Shared with confirmed participants
  • Who: Entrepreneurs, innovators, and builders shaping Tucson’s tech startup future
  • Participants Commit: To not take pictures or record any part of the meeting for any reason.
  • A volunteer submission form will be provided.
  • The first 25 volunteers will secure a seat on the invite list.
  • All others will be placed on a waitlist, and your input will still be collected to ensure your voice is heard.

Show up. Share honestly. Respect the process. Leave knowing your voice is part of something bigger than another meeting; it’s the foundation for action.
