Arizona Ascent is proud to announce its official editorial partnership with Silicon Oasis Magazine—an ambitious new media platform dedicated to elevating Arizona’s fast-growing startup and tech ecosystem.
This collaboration marks a bold new chapter for founder-first storytelling in Arizona. Through this partnership, Arizona Ascent will contribute monthly editorial features that highlight the visionaries, ventures, and community milestones shaping innovation across the state.
“We didn’t just build a magazine—we built a platform for Arizona’s founders to finally be seen and heard,” says Jennifer Conrad, CEO of The Conrad Group (publisher of Arizona Ascent) and Managing Editor of the magazine. “Silicon Oasis is unapologetically local, fiercely community-driven, and committed to telling the real stories behind the pitch decks. This is what’s been missing in the ecosystem—and we’re just getting started.”
Silicon Oasis Magazine is rooted in a shared mission: tell the stories that often go untold. From behind-the-scenes founder journeys to pivotal ecosystem shifts, the publication aims to build community through authentic, engaging storytelling.
“Arizona founders have been building incredible companies under the radar for too long,” says Kyle Macdonald, co-founder of Silicon Oasis. “This magazine turns the spotlight on them—elevating stories, not just stats. It’s a rally cry for Arizona’s startup scene.”
Each issue will feature founder interviews, startup milestones, and innovation insights, reaching a growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem builders statewide.
“We created Silicon Oasis to be the media platform our founders deserve—bold, beautiful, and built with purpose,” adds Macdonald. “It’s local storytelling with national ambition.”
