Congrats to the Bullhead City Winners!

  • Michael Bailey

    Tummy Table

    First Place Winner

    My company is Tummy Table Recovery Series, a recovery and mobility brand launching a new line of foam rollers called Foam Rollers That Don’t Roll. All are patented. Instead of traditional round rollers that often slide, wobble, and spread pressure unpredictably, our system uses four intentional shapes: rectangle, triangle, cube, and pyramid. Each shape creates a different contact style, from broad support to focused pressure, helping users position their bodies more deliberately and consistently.

    What makes us different is geometry. Competitors mostly sell round rollers with surface texture changes. We are changing the actual form, which changes stability, leverage, and pressure behavior. That gives athletes, therapists, and everyday users more control.

    Our customers include massage therapists, personal trainers, combat sports athletes, physical recovery users, and general fitness consumers. We will market through my existing massage and recovery business, live demos, social media education, gyms, clinics, local word of mouth, and strategic partnerships.

    End of Life Pro

    Second Place

    End of Life Organization Care Doulas. The Doula services will have full scope consult services and resources supporting your loved one through end-of-life planning. Very few, if any, are in the BHC area. This is a non-medical support service (not hospice) allowing families to pre plan and have peace and clarity during the final stages of life with their loved one. Peace, Love, and Joy can be abundantly present than worry, stress and miscommunication during the end of life. Only then can a healthy grief process proceed. Hospitals, funeral homes, Hospice, word of mouth and more can market doula services. Hourly consult fees with families, corporate engagement fees, and eventually Medicare covered benefit (currently being discussed). Of course, to assist the community with this uncomfortable topic, monthly free Cafe Meetings and Pro Bono services available. Seniors and critical diagnosis are top population for assistance, but anyone over 40 should have a plan. 8 billion people on this earth with end of life all in common. Planning allows us to bring peace, joy, love, and dignity back for our next journey.

    Magic by Me

    Third Place

    My business & dream is Magic By Me- an approximately 3000 sq. ft. creative community hub, studio space, & part gallery in Bullhead City, empowering connection & community through art.

    Problem: Rural desert communities can face limited access to affordable, accessible, & intergenerational opportunities for recreation, creativity, & social connection. . We offer hands-on workshops (resin, painting, crochet), self-paced sessions, vendor markets for local artisans, & expanding plans for mobile art visits for homebound seniors, combating isolation across all age groups.

    Innovation: Unlike traditional art studios or other paint & sips and crafting groups, we combine hands-on crafting with a vast selection of media & methods, local maker retail, & tech-driven customization like 3D printing & laser engraving under one roof. We can bring creative therapy directly to seniors who cannot travel.

Hey Bullhead City area risk takers, business leaders, & entrepreneurs!

Do you have a “moonshot” business idea or an existing business you’d like to expand? Or maybe you have a product or business idea scribbled down on a napkin  or notebook, but that's as far as you've gotten?!

​If you answered YES to either question above, join us for Moonshot's 7th Annual Rural Arizona Pitch Competition for entrepreneurs and business owners (aka, a showcase like you see on ABC's Shark Tank)!

This year’s focus is on
INNOVATION. We'll be taking the tour to 20 different cities/counties throughout rural Arizona. Participants with innovative business/product/service ideas or existing businesses they want to grow will compete for the chance to win local tour stop prize money and more! But that’s not all. In October 2026, each tour stop winner will travel to the Greater Phoenix area to compete for the state title and $10,000 in cash, $5,000 in cash for "Crowd Favorite”, and additional cash prizes! Winners from each tour stop will receive two complimentary tickets to the finals event and hotel stay. More finals event details to come!

But that’s not all! ALL competitors who participate in a tour stop competition will automatically receive a Moonshot membership valued at $5,500 (annually)! Moonshot members receive mentorship, educational programs, and access to investors and funding opportunities.
