BE A PART OF TENWEST
March 30–April 2, 2027 Downtown Tucson
TENWEST is powered by community. We value those who share what they learn, pitch what they’re building and volunteer their time and energy to bring the festival to life.
Here’s how to get involved in TENWEST 2027
Pitch At IdeaFunding
IdeaFunding brings founders and entrepreneurs from across Arizona to TENWEST to compete and connect with the people who can help move their ventures forward.
Selected founders receive pitch training, visibility and the opportunity to compete for funding and recognition in front of Arizona’s entrepreneurial community.
2027 IdeaFunding Applications Open Early December
