In 2012, Seed Spot accepted sixteen organizations for its inaugural Venture Program class from a pool of 191 applications. The overwhelming number of applications for an as-unproven incubator program shows the demand by early stage ventures in Phoenix for initial structure and direction for their organizations.

Seed Spot's Downtown Location

Seed Spot's office is located in Phoenix, Arizona.


Seed Spot currently has a temporary space while building out a larger office in the same building. The new space will allow a larger number of resident startups to work in the same location as well as engage with the greater Phoenix community by hosting events.

In the meantime, the current office worked very well for hosting the Startup America Regional Summit reception on Monday night. Plus the view from the balcony is amazing as these pictures show.

Social Innovation in Phoenix, Arizona

Seed Spot was founded by Courtney Klein Johnson and Chris Petroff. Courtney and Chris' vision is to build a working space, incubator, and venture fund that supports a growing local community of positive social organizations.

They look for both for-profit and nonprofit startups that can first apply their methods locally, then scale nationally.
