Silicon Oasis Pitch Night Brings Arizona Founders and Investors Together in Tempe

By Kyle Macdonald, COO of Silicon Oasis

Silicon Oasis recently partnered with Lioncrest VC to host another Pitch Night in Tempe, bringing together founders, investors, operators, and technology leaders from across Arizona.

The evening was designed around a simple goal: put promising Arizona companies in front of the people who can help them grow. Rather than functioning as a traditional demo day, Silicon Oasis Pitch Night creates a curated environment where founders can present their companies, receive feedback, and develop meaningful relationships with investors and experienced operators.

Five companies took the stage:

  • Olli Insurance, presented by Carrie Hartman

  • LATCH by CoDynamics Lab Corporation, presented by Mike Holford

  • KorGrid, presented by Hazen Kor

  • Frosch Advanced Technologies, presented by Matthew Frosch

  • Elanah.AI, presented by Austin Wood

The presenting companies reflected the depth and variety of innovation emerging across Arizona. Each founder had the opportunity to share the problem their company is solving, explain their business model, and engage directly with members of the investment and technology communities.

Silicon Oasis Pitch Night is built to extend beyond the presentations themselves. The conversations before and after the pitches are an equally important part of the experience, giving founders access to potential investors, customers, mentors, partners, and other ecosystem leaders.

The event was made possible through the support of its sponsors:

  • Oasis Sponsor: The Strongin Group

  • Cactus Sponsor: Alio IT Solutions

  • Mirage Sponsor: Olli Insurance

Silicon Oasis also thanks Lioncrest VC for partnering on the event and helping assemble a high-quality room of founders, investors, and community leaders.

Arizona’s technology ecosystem grows when the right people are brought together with purpose. Silicon Oasis Pitch Night is designed to create those connections while giving emerging companies greater visibility and access to capital, expertise, and relationships.

Thank you to everyone who invested their time, energy, and resources into making the evening possible. Silicon Oasis will continue building platforms that elevate Arizona founders and strengthen connections throughout the state’s technology community.

More Silicon Oasis Pitch Nights are coming soon.
