In 2025, the Flinn Foundation selected two companies — Anuncia Medical and Macula Vision Systems — to receive $100,000 each in funding support through the Arizona Bioindustry Association , our nonprofit partner. Eight additional companies were selected to leverage the benefits of our network and advisors to advance their progress over the 12-month period.

In addition, the 10 companies will be offered exclusive opportunities to engage with the state’s bioscience, academic, and policy leaders, including one-year memberships to Arizona’s Bioscience Roadmap Steering Committee , and invited to convenings with fellow bioscience entrepreneurs. The application to select the next cohort of participants will open in 2026. More details to be announced.
