What we aim to solve

The Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF) has supported Arizona entrepreneurs and at-risk populations since 2005. Beginning in 2019, our AZAdvances program has focused on Arizona’s growing entrepreneurial base in the area of health innovation. We work to help Arizona increase its STEM workforce and provide higher levels of entrepreneurial support to our emerging life science companies so our community can achieve it’s goal of doubling impact by 2033.
