Tesoro VC Is Fueling Arizona’s Next Wave of Deep-Tech Innovation

Arizona is in the middle of a massive technology shift. Record investment in AI, advanced manufacturing, and semiconductors is reshaping the state — but the long-term impact will come from the startups built alongside that growth. That’s where Tesoro VC is stepping in. Led by Andy Lombard , Tesoro VC is creating a launchpad for founders building at the intersection of chips, AI systems, robotics, and next-gen computing. Their accelerator brings together global partners, engineering tools, corporate pilots, and soft-landing support for international teams looking to scale in the U.S.

What makes Tesoro’s model so important is simple: it connects innovation to infrastructure.

As Arizona builds fabs, data centers, and cloud capacity, Tesoro is building the companies that will fill them — the tools, applications, and technologies that move from concept to commercialization.
