A New Chapter: Copper Sky Capital

Today marks an exciting milestone in the venture capital landscape: AZ-VC has officially rebranded as Copper Sky Capital , signaling a broader mission to back early-stage tech founders across underserved regions of North America — the “American Interior” — while remaining proudly rooted in Arizona. Founded in 2021 and led by veteran investors including Jason Pressman (formerly of Shasta Ventures) and Jack Selby (ex-PayPal executive), Copper Sky builds on the foundation of AZ-VC’s inaugural $115M Fund I and its portfolio of high-growth software companies. Unlike many firms concentrated in Silicon Valley, New York, or Boston, Copper Sky aims to shift the venture ecosystem by investing Seed and Series A capital in founders outside traditional tech hubs — believing that exceptional innovation thrives nationwide. The rebrand reflects both an expansion of geographic focus and a reinforced commitment to long-term founder partnerships, emphasizing operational support alongside capital.
