PHX FWD Announces CapCon 2026, Arizona’s New Capital Conference for Software Founders and Investors

Arizona's software ecosystem is gaining a new platform dedicated to one of the most critical drivers of startup growth: capital.

PHX FWD has announced the inaugural CapCon 2026, an annual conference designed to connect high-growth software companies with investors actively seeking opportunities in the Phoenix market. The event will take place on November 5 in Scottsdale and is expected to bring together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders from across Arizona and beyond.

As Phoenix continues to establish itself as one of the country's fastest-growing technology markets, access to capital remains a key ingredient for scaling companies and attracting new talent. CapCon aims to strengthen that connection by creating a dedicated environment for meaningful conversations between entrepreneurs and investors.

The conference will feature investor-focused programming, founder showcases, curated networking opportunities, and educational sessions centered on fundraising, capital strategy, and company growth. Organizers are focused on creating a high-quality experience that prioritizes substantive connections over large-scale attendance.

CapCon is designed for investment-ready software founders, venture investors, angel investors, ecosystem builders, and community leaders committed to advancing Arizona's technology sector. Attendees can expect keynote presentations, investor panels, founder pitch opportunities, and discussions focused on what it takes to successfully raise and deploy capital in today's market.

The launch of CapCon reflects a broader trend within Arizona's innovation ecosystem. As more venture-backed companies emerge and successful founders reinvest their time, expertise, and capital into the next generation of startups, the region continues to build the infrastructure necessary to compete with more established technology hubs.

Events like CapCon play an important role in accelerating that progress by bringing together the people and organizations responsible for funding and scaling the state's most promising software companies.

Registration for CapCon 2026 is now open. Early bird pricing is available through June 30, with discounted tickets offered using the code EARLYBIRD.

For founders seeking capital, investors looking for quality deal flow, and ecosystem partners committed to Arizona's future, CapCon represents a significant new addition to the state's growing technology landscape.
