The executive firm includes University of Arizona alum who have family in the Bay Area. In the last year, the firm has deployed its growth strategists into dozens of companies, supporting $300MM of funding raises in both cash and cryptocurrency. With tech markets growing in Phoenix and Tucson, Shot Ventures is expanding its activities with M&A teams, venture capitalists, and private equity firms who are seeking to identify investment opportunities in the region.
